What is the output of:

dmesg | grep -i eth

Is the NIC on board or a PCI card?  Is it old?  Could it be broke?  If 
it is onboard, have you check your BIOS to make sure it is enabled?

Do you have the Ubuntu Dapper install CD?  If so, boot with that.  If 
your network card works, then you know it is not the card.  You can also 
then find out what module is used for your network card from running the 
command above.
