eth1 not behaving

Here is something weird:

As the reportshown by ifconfig, lo, eth0 and eth1 pings successfuly.

However, eth1 carrier is 20 [don't know what that means] and has collision of 170.

I still can ping it withe no packets lost. On the other hand, eth0 reports all is well.

I can ping it as well with no packet lost and no errors reported. One interesting thing is,

 when I had eth0 at ip address 192.168.0.1, it failed to ping, but eth1 reported no

errors what so ever. No collisions, no carrier, no nothing? I will eventually use this machine

with the two ethernets as a gateway to the internet once all errors are conquered.

The below is a snap shot of what ifconfig reported. Any suggestion?
