That is the localhost address.
If DHCP has worked, your desktop should have another IP address.
If you run 'sbin/ifconfig' in a terminal you should see something like
Code:
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.1.1.255
inet6 fe80::219:d1ff:fe2d:7748 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 00:19:d1:2d:77:48 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 12870 bytes 5340857 (5.0 MiB)

TX packets 15629 bytes 1958200 (1.8 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
device interrupt 21 memory 0xdffe0000-e0000000
eth0 is your NIC
inet 10.1.1.2 is your IP address on the local LAN which should be supplied by DHCP from your router.
