What video card are you using?

I assume this in in X11? Have you done any configuration of X? If so  
what?

What sort of internet connection do you use? How is your computer  
attached to it?

Please provide details of what you have tried and what sort of set up  
you have, otherwise there isn't a lot we can do to help other than  
make wild gusses!

And I'm about to make a wild guess for each problem:

1) try as root: Xorg -configure

2) as root: dhclient fxp0

(replace fxp0 with your actual network device name, running ifconfig  
without any options will show you a list of all network interfaces, ed  
and fxp are rather comon)
