if the ethernet cable is plugged in to the computer, go to the menu in the bottom left, up to setup, then network wizard. From there click the button for eth0 or eth1 which pertains to the ethernet (it should say). Then click test. It should comeback saying "puppy was able to find a live network." If it didnt something isnt plugged in. Then click auto dhcp it will get an IP address and say "successful" then click done. Good to go!
