heya, it's strange that it didn't ask you about this. are you sure that it's recognized your network card at all? what does ifconfig eth0 say? if your kernel isn't recognizing it, you might have to load an extra kernel module for it. if your box does recognize your network card, you just need to enable dhcp. if you already have a dhcp client installed, you just need to add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and then /etc/init.d/networking restart should bring it up. if you
don't have a dhcp installed, do an
$ apt-cache search dhcp client
to get a list of programs to pick from. i've used the dhcp-client and
pump packages, both are pretty nice.
