New dang, thats redhat
search for eth0 (or wait for greg) there should be a text file that describes how the network card should be booted with parameters. Sounds like something isnt getting saved. Can you do a tcpdump -n -i eth0 in a command line while in another window renew the dhcp lease. The tcpdump will see what packets are being requested where and may have a clue

New /etc/network/interfaces
That is Debian's config file. I'm assuming Ubuntu inherited it.
New NetworkManager can ignore that.
Ubuntu did inherit that file from Debian, but if NM is looking after networking, then anything you add to /etc/network/interfaces will get in it's way. The solution is to either disable NM (and all the dynamic work it does) or ignore that file and configure in the GUI.

I fell in love with my manservant, who was
actually the disguised twin sister of the
man that my former love secretly married,
having mistaken him for my manservant who
was wooing her on my behalf whilst secretly
in love with me.
