After a fresh boot, can you (as root) execute 'mii-tool' and 'ifconfig' and post the output here? What kind of a connection do you have? LAN? Routed LAN? Do you use DHCP or static IPs?
I had the same problem with suse 9.3, dont know what I did, but the only ting I could think of was to reinstall the OS, after that its been working fine. I tried uninstalling the eth card, and reinstalling but during boot up it wouldnt wait for the eth card to come online even at 90 seconds it was wating like 5 seconds.
I've had Mandrake lose its ethernet connection sometimes. I went into network settings and checked the default settings and added a host name, localhost, then it worked just fine under dhcp. I re-started the computer and network settings were fine, networking came up at boot time.
