Im starting to feel that your right--when it works its
nice but when it doesnt i never know what to do.

please provide the exact output of the following:

dmesg | grep -i ^eth

$ dmesg | grep -i ^eth
eth1: Coming out of suspend...
eth1: no IPv6 routers present

cat /etc/network/interfaces

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available
on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see
interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0


Try adding these lines to your /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Then run:

ifup eth0
ifconfig eth0

See if you get a network address from DHCP.
