If your only problem is getting an ip address, Fedora Core uses
dhclient (assuming you have dhcp on your network) to get one. Try
running "dhclient eth0" as root.
Did you try Fedora Core 6 or Fedora 7? Linux Mint (an Ubuntu derivative) would also be a good one if it runs. I've had problems with Ubuntu with machines using SATA drives. Fedora has always worked for me.
