eth0 went where?

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on this one.

Last night while I was working on this box, I noticed a top I had running for a remote server on my linux box had stopped. I tried to restart it but no luck. Come to find out I wasn't getting a connection anymore. I powered down the machine since it was late and I didn't want to deal with it. Well I started it back up today and my 'bringing up eth0: failed'. So I thought the card might have gone bad, considering it was a few years old. So I powered down, took out the card and put a new one lying around in. Powered back up, it took me to Kadzu (i think that's the name) and noticed I had removed the old card, I took out the configuration for it, it then recognized the new one, I installed the config for it, then told it to keep my old network settings and to continue on. Well the 'bringing up eth0: failed' yet again. I know the card works, I know my router works since I'm using it from this box as well. I'm just not sure what would cause this to happen. I'm running RH 7.3 but I didn't do any types of upgrades or messing with any configs last night when the connection just stopped functioning. If anyone has any experience or ideas about this it'd be appreciated.
