check /var/log/messages 

or else 

you can try 	insmod ne2k-pci parameters_to_module_if_required_like_irq_etc.
and see what it says. Is it giving any error. 

If its not giving any error check if /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts/ifcfg-eth0
exists or not. If yes try "ifup eth0".

Either way you can try adding it manual by using

"ifconfig eth0 your_ip_addr netmast your_networks_netmast broadcast
your_networks_broadcast"


Why don't you try the man pages on these commands to verify the syntax once
again.
