1. Post here the output:

mii-tool

If it shows eth0 link as OK
Then perform the following:

2. The /etc/network/interfaces must include:

Code:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

if dhcp has to be configured

For static IP:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(enter your ip here)
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(enter gateway ip here)

Hope it helps !!!
