Hopefully you will see your adapter labeled something like <guilabel>eth0</guilabel>. If there is an issue with the card or the settings, usually the system will automatically disable the card. If the card is disabled, you will see <guilabel>X Disabled</guilabel> under the <guilabel>State</guilabel> column. To enable the device, simply press the <guibutton>Administrator Mode...</guibutton> at the bottom of the window. This will open a password dialog in which you enter your username's password.

This address will be something like 10.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1, but may vary depending on the nature of your network). If you are able to ping your gateway, then the DNS on your computer is working correctly. If you are not able to ping the gateway, then you do not have a proper Internet connection.
