Michael,
You should first make sure that your card is logically up. You can do this
by sending it the ifup eth0 command. Then make sure you can ping you own ip
address. If you can ping your own ip address then try your dns server.
Also you have not mentioned setting up your default route so make sure you
set it up also.

Michael,
I was working with another list member for about a week trying everything
possible, short of reinstallation, and nothing worked...ulimately this
person decided to format the damned hard drive and start over--and, wadda'
know? I worked!
I haven't a clue what the error was on his machine, but for the life of me I
simply couldn't come up with any more tricks. If you don't have anything
more than a little installation time invested in your current setup, you
might want to give that format & reinstall a try.
