Package 'dhcping' allows you to test responses of a DHCP server. Never
used it though.
If ifconfig -a doesn't show your network card(eth0) the drivers aren't
loaded. Find the module name and add to the end of /etc/modules.
One thing that I don't think has been mentioned is that you could boot
windows, get an IP and use it statically in Debian. There is of course a
chance of an IP addres conflict. For testing its safe though.
