when I do a ping I get the result
unknown host ..............
don't get it

U still have not said which OS u r connecting to. do u connect to another computer?
if u can not ping from one computer to another then it could be the cable.

U will have to give more information

Asking random questions to get more info.

Post output of ' ifconfig ' command?
How have you setup eth0? static or dhcp
When connected to router does it light up the port?
Is there any lights on anywhere?
Do you have the module for the nic loaded?
