If your primary ethernet card is eth0 do:

1. edit your /etc/network/interfaces

it should contain:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


run sudo /etc/init.d/networking/restart

and post the relevant output at the end of /var/log/messages if it wasn't
successful.

(please try a ping google.de and ping 66.249.93.104 and report if one of
them work)
