    Are you using DHCP or you need to asign an IP automaticly...
    is this a wireless Card?

    Try in a term as root
    Code:
    netconfig
    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    if you use netconfig, it should probe for your eth0 card

    i've just tried command " netconfig" but there is no info about eth0;

    it is just asking hostname, domain and dhcp's name then it finishs.

    hmm... try to do 'dslsetup' in console and see what happens. You can automatically setup your adsl connection with it.
