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`.
