I can do that when interface is up is up and running.
But it is /etc/init.d/net.eth0 that is failing because of dhcp error.

What should I use? Ethereal? What should I look for?

You can try Ethereal (which now goes by wireshark).   Question,  when it fails have you logged in and done a /etc/init.d/net stop / start?    Just curious if it will "force" itself up.
