You will get told which IP address to use, most probably in the
192.168.1.X range.

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.X broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -net 192.168.1.X netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
route add default gw 192.168.1.3

or whatever the IP addresses are.
MUCH easier than pointing and clicking and rebooting several times, which
is what Global Warriors are used to. :)

For now the best thing to do is make sure your ethernet card actually
works.  If you can't get it to work, do not fear, there will be a choice
of experts to pounce upon on Sunday. :)
