Check /etc/network/interfaces and make sure that eth0 is listed as "auto".
You should see a line like this:
auto eth0
If not, then that's why its not coming up. If you see an auto line with
eth0 in it, then there's some sort of problem and you should check dmesg
and /var/log/messages for more specifics on why your interface is failing
to come up.
