You do not mean that really, do you? ;-) A HUB/Switch typically do not 
provide DHCP, but routers do.

Just Basemon or did you try to connected the integrated HTTP server 
(after exiting Basemon by pressing X)?

Try another power supply. Ethernet requires a it more power.

Is the yellow LED lit? Does the green LED flash sometimes?

If you use Basemon to set a fixed IP, it will be stored in EEPROM. When 
the 'Preserve EEPROM' fuse is set (default on shipped Ethernuts), these 
setting will be available after burning a new application. No DHCP will 
be required then and the HTTP server sample should run out of the box.

Additional network configuration samples are provided at
http://www.ethernut.de/nutwiki/Nut/OS_Examples
There are ready-made binaries you can try as well.

Which board revision you have? Rev-F or earlier?

Did you create the sample binaries yourself? Sure you chose the right 
configuration file?
