 I hope you are using a cross cable or a hub?:))

 Can you ping from 1 to 1? It seems you can't make the first hop.

 I seems you are using similar cards. This can be tricky. I tried this
 with 
two ISA 3c509X cards. Setting conf.modules to

alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
options 3c509 io=0x300,0x280
options 3c509 irq=10,5

 resulted in the io's and irq's being exchanged, although the cards were
 set 
to 0x300 & 10 resp 0x280 & 5  nPnP.

 Setting conf.modules to

alias eth0 3c509
alias eth1 3c509
options eth0 -o 3c509 io=0x300 irq=10
options eth1 -o 3c509 io=0x280 irq=5

 results in total failure. (Really, the io & irq are hardwired.) I also
 set 
the boot options, both only eth1 as well as both eth0 & eth1 
specified/autoprobe.

 So I left the whole conf.modules alone (no options), just set the lilo
 param 
to "[ether=10,0x300,eth0 ]ether=5,0x280,eth1", but eventually eth0 still
is the card with io set to 280. Bummer.

 162, 160, 161?
 Have you got ipchains running?
