What type of hard disk install are you using? Option 1 (boot from floppy) or option 2 (boot from HD, puppy occupying a whole partition) or something else?

And Puppy has problem with ethernet connection when linld.com is used:

The HDoption-2 install is the most different from the LiveCD boot.

So, until you solve your problem, you might want to try a DOS-boot HDoption-1 install, that you can make as similar as possible to the LiveCD boot mode that works for you.
