This shows that the eth0 interface has no ip address associated with it, nor
does it have a default gateway. It hasn't actually been configured.

If you want to configure this interface manually, then enter the following
in /etc/network/interfaces (feel free to adjust the IP addresses to suit
your network set-up - you mention that you use 192.168.1.11 as the gateway,
so I've used the same value).


auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.50
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.11
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.11


 Alternatively, you may prefer to configure this interface up to use DHCP
and have the router hand out ip addresses - your choice.
