We are installing Tridion 2011 SP1 and were able to configure Content Manager. But the Content Distributor Transport Service does not start. It gives a service error stating "Service started and stopped..."

Double check that you are using Java 6 and not Java 7. Tridion 2011 will NOT run with Java 7 (it's not a question of support, as you are finding out it really does NOT run).
If you need Java 7 support, then consider using SDL Tridion 2013 instead. Otherwise, uninstall Java 7 and re-run the Tridion installer - it will automatically install a supported version of Java 6.
Is this a clean install or an upgrade?
I had a similar issue when upgrading an installation to Tridion 2011 a while ago. It appears that the following two files are no longer needed and should be removed from the lib directory:
I seem to remember this being in the upgrade manual, but easy to miss! (So easy that I can no longer find a reference!)
Additionally check the cd_transport_conf.xml file, if that file is invalid the service will fail while starting.
