If you're not familiar with networking then I would STRONGLY suggest that
you stay well clear of putting your server directly on the Internet. Put
it behind a good firewall and play there instead.

1. What is in your /etc/network/interfaces file?
2. Assuming you're using ethernet to connect your server to the world,
try "ifup eth0" and tell us what it says.
