If your enter all the numbers manually, among other things IP address, do you specify the same IP for that PC in your router setup?
Do you have second NIC plugged? Are there some BIOS settings for the onboard NIC?

The mac address for the nic is stored in the router, so the PC always gets the same IP running Win or Linux. I'm running WinXP on the same computer. I tried the no apic option and nothing different happened. And the only setting in the bios for the onboard LAN is to turn it on or off. That's the only NIC in the machine.

Oh and yeah it's a Linksys Cable/DSL router. I've even tried directly pluging the PC into the modem, still nothing. Everything ran fine on my ECS board.
Keep the linksys in the connection, it should help. If you have to log in, the Linksys is already taking care of that for you; if on cable the cable provider already gets along fine with the Linksys mac address, no reason for it to see any different one. Plus the Linksys gives you a local known IP address that you should be able to ping.
What does "it just fails" mean? What does the message say, if there is one (and if there isn't then how do you determine it failed). Does a "sudo mii-tool -r" command from a shell work ok? (don't worry, you don't need a root password.) If so, try a netcardconfig after that and see if that works, but if it gives you an error please tell us what the error is.
