What does it say if u use:
Code:
ifconfig eth0 up
what kind of network controller is it?
Guess a recompilation of a kernel is required else..

Did you create a section in the file

/etc/network/interfaces

file for eth0?

Check out the manual page for interfaces on how to configure your ethernet card:
Code:
man interfaces
