One additional detail:
when trying to connect to a remote host or website using their TCP/IP
address (rather than the hostname or url), it keeps trying for a while,
then reports that the connection was refused by the remote host.
If using the hostname or url, it says that "cannot find a host with that
name, no DNS entry", etc.
If you can connect to other machines on the local LAN, it can *not* be a hardware problem, since Appletalk uses the same hardware as TCP/IP.
However, Appletalk works independently of TCP/IP, so it could be a TCP/IP problem.
The errors you are getting are due to the 540 not being able to find it's gateway and DNS server(s).
Make sure you haven't typoed the MAC address in the static DHCP configuration file. That's one that bites us regularly, since we use DHCP as well, with manually added MAC addresses; it's easy to transpose two numbers, mistake B's for 8's, etc.
It REALLY sounds like the DCP server is not giving it what it needs. Try manually setting the IP, DNS, and Gateway address it's supposed to have assigned by the DHCP server.
If all of this is correct, try a clean install of 8.1. Maybe your TCP/IP extensions are messed up.
