check your /etc/networks/interfaces
and add
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
if you want dhcp
or add
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.(2 to 254) (not 1, generally used for router)
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

if you want static ip

and do /etc/init.d/networking restart

You need root/sudo access for all of these.
