Even ipconfig /all doesn't yield anything. Does this mean the on-board ethernet is fried?
(Oh, and this is WHS 2008 SP2.)

Sorry I didn't answer this myself way earlier, but it turns out that WHS didn't plug-and-play the Ethernet drivers. I installed them and then everything was fine.

It's possible your device is disabled. Check this by clicking your network icon in the tray and selecting "Open Network and Sharing Center" then selecting "Change Adapter Settings" on the left-hand menu. Check to make sure the connection you're interested in is listed there and isn't set to disabled. If it is disabled, right-click on it and you will find an enable option.
You can also get to this screen via Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center if you have no icon in your tray.

That was my suspicion as well - I don't even see the NIC in the device manager, though there are three ambiguously-labeled devices that aren't working because they need drivers. Ugh, it's always something with DYI computers. – Zelbinian – 2012-05-16T13:37:24.553
