Adam,
Do you by any chance have two ethernet devices on your computer?
When I switched from 2.2.19 to 2.4.10 (on installing YDL2.1),
I couldn't get networking going until I finally noticed that,
under kernel 2.4.10-12a, the assignmed of eth0 and eth1 was
reversed - under 2.2.19 (and previous 2.2 kernels), eth0 was
the on-board (BMAC) device, and eth1 was my PCI card
with a tulip chip. Under 2.4.10, eth0 was now the PCI card,
and eth1 was the on-board device! Once I finally noticed this,
just swapping eth0<->eth1 in all the definition files got
things working.
