I appreciate your reply to my email. The steps ou have given me are
things that I have done and are already in place. I still cannot get the
eth to activate unless I issue it a static IP it for some reason will
not activate under the DHCP selection. Has anyone ever experienced this.

If I do assign it an IP it will activate but still has no internet
connection. I can ping itself but cannot ping any machine outside of it
or have a machine outside be able to ping it.
    

What kind of network card? what network chip, what driver is being
used?
  

Realtek 8111/8168b
module 8169

No link detected.

When I attempt to install the driver that came on the CD with the box r8168-8.006.00. Once I get to the step to Make Clean Modules all I get is errors

My best guess at this point is the driver doesn't fully support the
network card so traffic cannot pass. Maybe the card is too new.

Run ethtool eth0 (assuming your using eth0), and verify there is
a link detected as well.
