Have a look at /etc/network/interfaces
if you want a static ip of 192.168.0.3 then you should have an entry
such as:-
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
etc...
if you are using dhcp then as Simon said it sounds like something is
starting in the wrong order. (You should still have a interfaces entry
but it would be "iface eth0 int dhcp". Where on your network is the dhcp
server, are you using a router for this or is this dhcpd on the Debian
machine?
