Depending on exactly what you've tried to install you may have to manually edit various network configuartion files so that the ethernet connection is enabled and configured at powerup.

If you've tried to install a minimal server environment then chances are the network is disabled by default (a lot of linux distributions do this deliberately so you dont put unconfigured machines directly onto the internet).

Its also possible the network is up but the firewall is set to a very restrictive mode.

execute ifconfig -a and route -n and paste your result
