SOLVED! Or at least it was solved for me. I compared the problem box with another box also running Ubuntu. In the end, what I did was to create the file /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases on the problem box. The file was missing and the syslog was complaining that the file couldn't be created, so I created it. Then 'chown dhcp dhclient.eth0.leases' to give it the correct ownership. After that, everything works! Hope that helps someone. Sorry for crossposting, I put this in another thread somewhere, but this problem was driving me nuts until I fixed it.
