What network interface is configured by DHCP? eth0? What does your /etc/network/interfaces look like? My DHCP configured interface is eth1 so my /etc/network/interfaces file has auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp in it. I also specified some options below that so a certain command is run whenever the interface is brought up. HTH, -D
