Try this : 

- Edit /etc/network/interfaces
- Delete the line(s) related to your network interface eth1
"iface eth1 inet [dhcp|static]" and parameters
- Add the lines related to the Xen network bridge
iface xenbr0 inet [dhcp|static]
	bridge_ports eth1
and add additional parameters if you are using static IP configuration
- /etc/init.d/networking restart
- Give me the output of ifconfig

You probably used the xend network script "network-bridge" with Etch. The xend 
network scripts are considered by Debian maintainers like a hack that try 
to "guess" what the network configuration should be, based on what it 
actually is. The best way to configure Xen is to have a correct network 
configuration in the first place.
