Yesterday, my internet connection failed. My ISP sent a tech out today.
He replaced hardware outside, and eventually was able to connect his laptop
directly to the ethernet where it comes into the house. It did not work
when connected to my eero router. The tech thinks the current problem is
with the router. I have my doubts, however, since the desktop computer
does not get a network connection when plugged into the router or directly
into the ethernet port.

If I do:

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

I get the following:

Listening on LPF/eth0/90:2b:34:9d:4d:6b
Sending on LPF/eth0/90:2b:34:9d:4d:6b
Sending on Socket/fallback
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
.
.
4 more lines like this, each with a different interval
.
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Did a config somehow get messed up? Is my network card malfunctioning?
What info do you need to help diagnose this pboblem.

NOTE: Since my desktop has no netork connection, all command results are
manually typed into this e-mail on my phone.
