| So are you running off the boot cd or have you booted into the new install? |

Make sure you've included the driver for your network card into your kernel (or if you prefer build it as a module). If built as a module follow the handbook instructions for adding modules in your /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file, so that it loads at boot time.
Then either bring up your card and dhcpcd client manually by running: # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 or add it to the default runlevel as the handbook suggests.
