It hard to believe since you are seeing the message DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 Also, the netstat you posted.... Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 121.208.32.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 121.208.32.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Would show the static address if it is indeed set.
