    Since it connected with DHCP ok durring install I'm guessing the
    drivers and everything are ok with your network card. Perhaps your
    just not supplying enough information in /etc/network/interfaces?

    Here's mine:

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.1.0.59
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.1.0.0
        broadcast 10.1.0.255
        gateway 10.1.0.254
        dns-nameservers 10.1.0.3
        dns-search mydept.mycompnay.edu
        name Ethernet LAN card

    To bring an interface down you'd use "ifdown <interface>" as root. So
    to disable your ethernet you'd do "ifdown eth0". To bring it back up
    (ie, try to connect again) you'd use "ifup eth0". Make sure to do
    them as root or nothing will happen.

    Hope that helps.
