Take look at your /etc/network/interfaces file. Mine looks like this:


### etherconf DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

auto lo eth0 eth1

# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback

# The ethernet interface, configured by etherconf
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.1.10
	netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth1 inet dhcp
    up /etc/firewall

If you don't have a iface section for eth0 or eth0 is not on the auto line
that maybe your problem.
