You also need to check your routing to see if there is a net route to
eth0.  And it is a good idea to put names for any machines on the LAN into
/etc/resolv.conf to avoid DNS timeouts for reverse lookup (Linux likes to
have some sort of name for any IP connecting to it).

What card (brand & model)?  ISA cards usually need to have their port and
irq initially set with a DOS program (unless there are jumpers).  Is it
reconized and working with the DOS test program?  Have you read the
Ethernet-HOWTO?
