The last few lines of kernel messages:
dmesg | tail
and also the syslog (there will likely be some duplication of lines
output from dmesg)
tail /var/log/messages
determine if you've got a link using ethtool (or mii-tool if your driver
is older)
/sbin/ethtool eth0
You'll probably need to know the MAC address (HWaddr) of your NIC for
diagnostics
/sbin/ifconfig eth0
Also, check the logs on your DHCP server and look for DHCP_DISCOVER
entries for the MAC address.
