Does the same computer with the same NIC, cable, etc. get an IP address
in Windows or any other OS?  If you don't have a Windows partition, you
could try booting with Knoppix, Tom's Root Boot, or Linuxcare's Bootable
Business Card and see if it gets an IP address.

When you installed Slackware, did you specify that your IP address is
acquired via DHCP or did you choose static?

Is Slackware even seeing your NIC?  What's the output of ifconfig eth0? 
What's the output of lsmod?  What kind of NIC is it?
