You could be defaulting to your wireless card, and not the wired port. 
(Im assuming you want to use the wired port?)

type "/sbin/ifconfig -a" and see if you list your ethernet device 
(probably eth0) with an IP address/information. Something like the below:

[nbrenckle at dnsr01 ~]$ /sbin/ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:81:76:59:26
          inet addr:111.175.203.150  Bcast:111.175.203.155  
Mask:255.255.255.248
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:81ff:fe76:5926/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1740108229 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1818432544 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:3498876285 (3.2 GiB)  TX bytes:3167856374 (2.9 GiB)
          Base address:0xd000 Memory:e8000000-e8020000

Depending on what you have listed makes for a different course of action 
so I can't give much more info here. But this is a start to find the 
problem at least :-)
