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".

Most non-Catholics know that the Catholic schools are rendering a
greater service to our nation than the public schools in which
subversive textbooks have been used, in which Communist-minded teachers
have taught, and from whose classrooms Christ and even God Himself are
barred. - from "Our Sunday Visitor", an American-Catholic newspaper,
