Just some thoughts: Did you check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages for clues? Are you running wired or wireless? Did you run "netconfig" as root to get a good base setup (you can then tweak after)? Are you running wicd and/or network manager? Can't use both! Also, if using nm, you can't manually specify network params: they have to be set with the nm applet. Is your router/modem/whatever set to block certain MAC addresses from getting out?
