Help setting up an ethernet connection...

Hey there. I'm a total newbie to Linux, someone recommended me as a good first, so I got into it. I just got it up a bit ago (hourish) and need help setting up a ethernet connection...

How it goes: My computer, cord connected from back connects to router, router has two cords into it, one from main, and one from mine. router has cord from modem , modem to...well...obvious

anyway, when I try to automatically configure dhcp on it, it just fails and I can't connect...same thing happened when I started installing on text only...one thing I can't understand it that it worked once when I entered local host, but it never worked again. Any help is appreciated.
