OK, do you know this for sure? More later on this.

Almost all pci cards (if not all) will require the pci-scan module now
with the major re-write Donald Becker did. He took code that was used
in virtually every pci NIC and made it into the pci-scan module. The
new tulip module uses it too.

Good, you can open a "run..." dialog box and enter "winipcfg", select
your Nic in the adapter box, and push the "more info" button to get
info on your Gateway and dns server ip addresses.

Hmmm, I only remember one setup that you had to comment out on
Eigerstein. Dachstein may be different though.

OK, the results of :
ip addr show
ip route show
netstat -i
lsmod
and dmesg
would be very helpful to us, otherwise we're guessing w/o a clue. You
can put these outputs to a new blank floppy with a set of commands like
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
ip addr show > /mnt/ip_addr_show.txt
<command 2> > /mnt/<command_2.txt>
etc.... for more commands
cd /
umount /mnt
You can then send them from windows or another linux box .

OK, dns isn't working... is the right NIC attached to the cablemodem?
Have you tried switching them? Sounds like the NIC isn't loaded right
or hasn't gotten any info from the dhcp server to me.

commands above should give a good idea!

Linux doesn't always take the dns entry's from a dhcp server depending
on how the ISP's dhcp server is set up, you may have to enter it
manually, we'll see it doesn't sound like the NIC is working right to
me yet.
