[PLUG] Ubuntu Server on HP ProLiant DL380 G5

Folks,
I did this many moons ago when I lived in Kalama and worked at the glass
plant.
They had some spare ProLiant servers in a rack doing nothing, they wanted
cameras, so I gave them cameras. I installed ubuntu server on one and then
I installed ZoneMinder, it was quite easy and that server did not even know
it was
working.

I am trying to do the same thing again, I have a  HP ProLiant DL380 G5 which
I am trying to install Ubuntu server on but when I get to the NIC setup it
says
DHCPv4 has supplied no addresses, I go in and make sure that DHCP is
selected
but no joy. Never had that problem before.

I saw one person on line who had a similar problem, this person had a URL
that
took you to a different version of Ubuntu server, but the file would not
read.

If I load in the regular desktop version it does see the NIC cards and it
obtains addresses
for both ports (I plug them both into active networks)

Any idea of what I am fighting here? Why does the server version not take
the NIC
cards but the desktop does?
