If the box as a ethernet card installed you will need to set up the system for
a static ip address for the ethernet card. The static setup needs no gateway
ip and no dns ip addresses. If you miss this setup on the install just
install apt-get install etherconf and configure. If you need to run etherconf
again use the command as su dpkg-reconfigure etherconf
all the best
