Open a terminal and type "ifconfig" and see if you have an IP, should look something like:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:05:5D:48:1F:A9
          inet addr:192.168.2.166  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::205:5dff:fe48:1fa9/64 Scope:Link

If you have no IP for eth0 try "sudo netcardconfig" or "sudo ifup eth0" and "sudo pump -i eth0"
