Your box is off the net somehow.  Make sure the wires are hooked up :-)
If there is any hardware besides an ethernet strand between your box and the 
servers, like routers, you might want to make sure that you're on the right 
subnet.

When you can sit in front of your box, make sure that ifconfig says that the 
interface is up and has the address you expect.
