No network nor internet via ethernet cable [complete linux newb]

Mon Nov 17 05:17:03 UTC 2008

I just made the switch on my old desktop.   I installed the drivers it asked for via thumb drive but I cant seem to get internet going.  I have my cable securely plugged in and when I tried to ping I got 0%.
