From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

does the dhcp server show anything? like incomplete offers? you can try setting a static, using an IP that isnt assigned by the dhcp server.
Sorry, I'm quite new to this, but how do I check that?
Do you know where your DHCP server is? What are you plugging your Debian server's network cable into? I understand that networking apparently worked while you were installing Debian, and it's unclear why that would have changed, but if I were in your position the first things I would suspect would be something with the DHCP server itself (like it stopped running or ran out of addresses), or a lack of connectivity between the Debian server and the DHCP server.
In other words, I'd start troubleshooting with your network, but it's hard to suggest specifics because we don't know anything about your network. One simple thing to try might be to restart your router. For most home networks, that's where the DHCP server will be, and it should start up on boot.
I checked with my laptop, and the same cable provided internet there, which makes me think it's something to do with the software on the server.
