Is your DHCP server running? If you manually specify an IP address,
does it work?
To manually specify an address, type the following as root:
ifconfig eth0 some.ip.addr.ess netmask some.sub.net.mask
Example: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
then add a default route:
route add default gateway some.ip.addr.ess eth0
Example: route add default gateway 192.168.1.1
You should be able to at least ping your default gateway at this point
ping 192.168.1.1
Let me know if any of that works.
