You need to configure the device: add something like this to your
/etc/init.d/network script, or do it on the command line until you get
it setup correctly. See the man pages on ifconfig and route.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
Of course substitute IP addresses and netmasks as required for your
setup, this is for my private home network.
