"turn off eth0 and eth1" - I didn't need to switch off 0 and 1. Just enabled eth2 and it (external network access) worked for me. The issue may be related to the IP range used for Internal (RAC) network (eth0/2) and external IPs. If those are crossing then I imagine the access may not work while your eth0/1 are up. I intentionally used "wired"/"untiipical" IP range for my RAC setup.
