Help: Mandriva 2005: Ethernet card won't get IP address from DHCP server

Hi,
My laptop is connected to the Internet via a LAN served by a DHCP server.
It seems to me that the Ethernet card won't get an IP address from the DHCP
server neither during boot, nor during several "manual" trials using the
respective "drakes" (wizards). Among others, I've tried to use both
dhclient and pump protocol for the card.
Both the laptop and LAN work-I can connect in Win2K also installed (by my
employee) on that laptop.
Enclosed please find outputs of:
a. ifconfig (note eth0 has no "regular" IP address).
b. route (note that originally route was empty. I have manually added that
entry).
c. /etc/resolv.conf is empty.


By the way, can somebody explain me what's the sit0 response to ifconfig
(didn't see this one in former Mandrake versions).


TIA
