Is the box using a static IP or a DHCP IP? Meanwhile, you might want to check out your network configuration files:
/etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Also, just doing an ifdown eth0 might not always tell you the truth; I like to run: /sbin/service network restart ...it will show you if the network is properly shutting down and properly restarting.
There is always mii-tool and ethtool to check the status of the card as well - and there is always the possibility that either the network cable might not be in top condition, or the network card itself might be on it's way "south".
