unable to bring up eth0

[Fred J.]

Hello 

debian testing / 2.6.13
2 ethernet cards, one to an asdl modem/router and one to switch. I am sure I have the relative kernel devices compiled in.
during boot up, I get Falied to bring up eth0
starting dhcp server: dhcpd3 failed to start - check syslog for diagnositcis
I did lots of googling and after reading many pages, I am more confused, I get some conflicting thing and not clear on wha t to do.

#  ifconfig
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:E3:20:EC:E6  
          inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
