    Well, maybe a few questions will help you formulate an attack plan.

    Are you trying to get a dynamic or a static IP?

    What does a search of 'eth' in the output of `dmesg` produce?

    What is the output of `ifconfig -a`?

    What do you remember about your choices in the network configuration
    portion of the installation process?

    A google search on 'debian network configuration' turned up a number
    of promising links, including this one:
