If you're at home using a router you might be using dhcp to get the address automatically... If you're using dialup then you don't need to worry... If you're using a router with DHCP (do you know what that is? :)... then type at the command line sudo dhclient eth0 This call cause the program dhclient to ask your router for a new ip address for your eth0 card. DHCP also sets your gateway and dns settings automatically, so you don't need to worry about the other commands I talked about in my last post - route.
