Is your ethernet configured?
dmesg | grep eth
ifconfig -a
Is your gateway set to point to your Netgear router?
netstat -rn
Do you have the correct nameservers set up in /etc/resolv.conf?
Do some searches for LDP (Linux Documentation Project) -- there are
probably some HOWTOs to help you.
Good luck,
