How are you powering the board? Do you have anything plugged into the
USB ports? The board with ethernet can draw 700mA, if you are powering
it from a USB port in a computer it will only be able to supply 500mA
which will cause issues.

The network chipset on the Raspberry-Pi is sensitive to it's input
voltage. [1] explains how to test if the power supply is inadequate.
