Read `man interfaces`, or just add to your /etc/interfaces file:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Or you could use static ip (as I do) and add to /etc/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.101
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.1.1

You probably also need to set your dns server, which would be in
/etc/resolve.conf.  Add a line like:

nameserver 24.20.31.212

But with your own dns server.

Of course, linuxconf may already have done some of this for you...

If you don't use gom, the simplest fix would be `apt-get remove gom`.
