Which Dimension model do you have? Which Ethernet card do you have? What Operating System is installed? Have you tried resetting the BIOS? Does the problem happen regardless of which PCI slot the card is in? PCI Ethernet cards are so inexpensive that getting a replacement to check that it's the card is a very reasonable option.

It sounds like a failed card. If you want to try resetting the BIOS defaults, here are Dell's notes on how to do that.
But I suspect replacing the card is what will resolve the problem.
