My solution was to register the Hex equivalent of my first name as a MAC so I could spoof it if I needed to.
If you know that the now dead NIC is registered you could spoof it's MAC and see if that works. You may have to disable the NIC in BIOS to make sure the spoof doesn't mess up you network stack. Look at the ifconfig manpage for info on how to set the hardware address.
Hope that helps, if not let's figure out what will.

I went through the registration procedure so it should be registered. I don't know of any place to confirm my registration though.

Have you registered the MAC with OIT?

Richard,
What does your /etc/network/interfaces look like? What does it say when you do an ifup eth0. How about ifconfig? Thanks.

I'm trying Debian for the first time since it happened to be the CD I
grabbed when I was installing on my extra box. I've got a problem though, I'm on campus and can't seem to get an IP address through DHCP. I have a hub between my extra box and the wall, but on my box with that other OS I have no problems with DHCP. I'm completely new to Debian so any help getting this running would be very appreciated. I think I'm running Woody.
