Two things. One check that the module for your network card is loaded
and that the network is properly configured. /etc/network/interfaces is
where you should have the proper information. Ussually something to the
effect of:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Second most cable modems check the computers asking for DHCP leases
based on MAC address. So basically if this is not the normal computer
connected to the cable modem you might want to turn the power on the
cable modem off for 30 seconds then turn it back on and try again(or use
the reset button).
After both of these have gone do a ifup eth0 and you should have the
network(it might complain the network is already up then just do an
ifdown eth0).
