Network card problems

If you can, tell us what happens during bootup with DHCP.  It should say
something like "attempting to configure eth0 by contacting a DHCP server."
Next, the DHCP command is supposed to report back what it gets.  If you
never see the "attempting to configure eth0" message, rerun netconfig and
make sure you selected DHCP.  DHCP is the second choice, static IP is the
first.  DHCP only asks if you need to supply a hostname, and most of us
don't.  It mentions that Cox at home is an exception where you need to
supply a hostname to DHCP.  Like I said, the card is definitely
functioning.  Good luck
