no internet connection (debian)

Hi

On my debian (sarge) machine I don't seem to get an ip from my cable
provider. I just did the same thing as I did with woody, and that one did
work. Alltough I seem to get some info from the dhcp server (hope I am
right here). Here are some of my files and what are in them.

/etc/network/interfaces

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


/etc/resolv.conf

search pandora.be
nameserver 195.130.130.131
nameserver 195.130.131.3


/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 pc01 localhost


But ifconfig doesn't seem to give an ip. I thought this all was correct.
What can I do for more now?


Here are some lines from /var/log/syslog which have something to do with
protocols, netwek card.


- IP protocols: ICMP, UDP, TCP
- TCP: Hash tables configured (ehash 262144 bhash 65536)
- eth0: VIA VT 6102 Rhine-II at 0xcc00, 00:50:......... (here is the mac
address) , IRQ10
- eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertissing 01e1 Link
40a1

I also put the next line here even I am not sure it is to the point here.

- apm: disabled on user request

Something with power management I asume?

Hope someone can help, thanks.
