Describe your setup, what is providing DHCP? What kind of switches and NIC are you using? Is the switch port set to auto-negotiate or is it locked down to full duplex/100Mb or half duplex/10Mb? Output from the following commands would help: /sbin/ifconfig -a cat /etc/resolv.conf /bin/netstat -rn cat /etc/hosts /sbin/ethtool eth0 (note: you will need to be root for this one, use the interface for your network connection if it is not eth0)
