If you're running Linux or a BSD (or possibly MacOS) on another
computer on your local network, I'd start by running `nmap` against
your LAN. You might have to install it first, but it should be
available in every repo out there. Assuming your pi is even booting
properly in the first place (as suggested elsewhere in the thread,
this sounds suspiciously like an improperly-written disk image), if
your LAN segment is 192.168.1.xyz you can use
$ nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24
to ping every host on your network to see if any of them respond. If
the RPi has booted properly and found your network, it should respond.
If you have a lot of devices on your network like I do (several
laptops & phones of various vintages), you might find it easier to
disconnect the RPi, take a snapshot of the network with nmap:
$ nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 > nmap_before.txt
then plug in the RPi, do a 2nd snapshot of the network with nmap:
$ nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 > nmap_after.txt
and then compare them:
$ diff -u nmap_{before,after}.xt
to highlight if any of them differed (should be one added device--the
IP address of the RPI--if the RPi was booting and connecting to the
network properly).

Any thoughts?

waited the requisite couple minutes for it to fully boot, and that
you have an adequate power-supply to make sure it doesn't flake
out on you (I've accidentally used an underpowered USB
power-source and the symptoms are hard to recognize because it's
just flaky).
Are you doing an nmap to scan the network for it?
Are you checking your router/DHCP-server's control-panel to see
if it has extended a new DHCP lease to the RPi?
Did you try to SSH into it? If so, by name, or by IP address?

Hey guys,===========================================================
So i just downloaded raspbien, and put it on the sd card, no
issues. My pi isn't showing up on the network. I plugged it in,
plugged in the cat5 cable, and it's not showing up.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Jed
