Yep, my DHCP server is definitely up and running...I'm using my router
as my DHCP server, and my router gets it's IP from my provider...

That and when I reboot into Windows I can connect to the Net no
problemo.

Looks like eth0 isn't getting an IP address from the dhcp server. Are 
you sure your DHCP server is up and running? Are other clients able to 
get IP addresses from it?
