Your 3Com cards are not set up correctly. See section 3 and 5 of the
Linux Ethernet HowTo.

You may also find parts of the Linux Networking HOWTO useful.

Heres something from Linux Journal which may be helpful.

And finally, The Network Administrators' Guide is a good read.

I havent used DHCP yet on my small network, but your problems seem to be
at the hardware and driver level.
Hope this helps,
