Are you connected to internet via ethernet behind a router or directly with a
modem ? If this is the case, what is the modem ? How is it connected to the
computer (USB, ...) ?

First thing you want to do is check and see if your ethernet card is
getting an IP address and that it is getting recognized. You can check
it this way:
/sbin/ifconfig
you should probably see a couple different entries there, on for lo and
hopefully one for eth0. If you see an eth0, check to see if it has an
address, it should look something like this:
If you don't see something like that, you can try and running:
sudo dhclient eth0
you can also check the contents of /etc/network/interfaces , you should
see a couple of lines that looks something like this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
