What IP address are you getting? Open a command box, type CMD at the run line, hit enter, then type IPCONFIG and hit enter. If you're getting an IP address starting with 169, your not getting a valid address...

I know that one, had around 6 of my customers machines go down due to a gigabit network driver update.
Easy fix, run your original motherboard driver cd. (assuming it is that)

Even easier fix.... go to the device manager, click on the LAN adapter and tell it to roll back the driver.
