Then you have a physical problem. Verify it by giving the machine a valid
"static" network configuration, if there is a physical problem the machine
will still not work on the network.

Never waste time fooling with DHCP to solve problems. Always eliminate DHCP
by using a statically assigned network configuration, make sure everything
works *perfectly*,...then...set the machine to use DHCP after that.
