I downloaded and ran the livecd earlier today, and everything works great...but I can't connect to the internet. No IRC, IM, or web browsing. I'm completely new to linux, so I looked through a few other topics for help, and I saw someone mention that when typing "ifconfig" into the terminal, you should see that eth0 has an IP address. On mine, eth1 has an IP address, and eth0 doesn't show up there, though it does show up when I use "sudo netcardconfig". I'm guessing that eth0 might be my wireless ethernet, since I have the switch for it turned off right now (not near my wireless network). If that is true, is it because my wired ethernet is on eth1 and not eth0 that it doesn't work, and if so - how can I change that?

If I'm way off base on everything, let me know. I just need some help.
