G'day Chris,

This may help:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

or

ifconfig eth0 up

However, a pretty good thing to investigate is a utility called
ifplugd. This will detect if there is a a link or not. If not then the
interface will stay down. If you plug in a cable then the interface
will automatically come up.
