The last few lines of kernel messages: dmesg | tail and also the syslog (there will likely be some duplication of lines output from dmesg) tail /var/log/messages determine if you've got a link using ethtool (or mii-tool if your driver is older) /sbin/ethtool eth0 You'll probably need to know the MAC address (HWaddr) of your NIC for diagnostics /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Also, check the logs on your DHCP server and look for DHCP_DISCOVER entries for the MAC address.
