We should probably start with your network card. You will get a list of
your (PCI) hardware if you run the command "lspci" (without quotes) from
a terminal or a console. Please do this and copy the line(s) which
are related to networking/ethernet into a mail to this list.
Somebody might know if this specific hardware has any issues, and
otherwise we will just proceed by checking if you have the correct
driver module loaded, etc.
Another thing that might help is the output of the command
/sbin/ifconfig
