2900 onboard NIC won't talk to network

I have configured my DELL 2900 with RH40AS and am attempting to get it to go on the network. The DHCP program runs during boot but doesn't seem to be able to find the DHCP server (which has been configured into it.) Once the system is up eth0 which is configured for a cross connect with a fixed IP, comes up, eth1 configured for the public network doesn't. I have swapped them arround with the same results. I have tried different routers, different cables, manual IP assignment, all was no go.
 
I have disabled iptables and the built-in firewall.
 
Any ideas out there?
 
Thanks for your help,
 
Mike

    what is the output of "iwlist scanning" and "ifconfig" are you sure you have a DHCP server?

    Support had me insert a # (comment indicator) before the HDWADDR entry in the NIC configuration file and reboot and that has fixed it.
     
    Thanks for your import.
