Chris,
Glad to hear of your success... if you don't mind, can you detail your setup a bit. Are you using a USB serial adapter (if so which one) or a serial port on your PC motherboard or pci card?

Hi,
Swapping up the cables sees to make no difference, and if I plug in my work PC into the supplied cross over cable I get an IP.

Good to know.
As far as eth0 not coming up some things to look at:
* Make sure that ip=dhcp was passed to kernel on bootargs
* Make sure /etc/init.d/networking is started on startup. Mine is symlinked in /etc/rcS.d.
