ifconfigwhich should give something that looks roughly like the following:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:5F:C8:7A:95 inet addr:194.38.85.183 Bcast:194.38.85.191 Mask:255.255.255.224 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1376643 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5364 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0x300 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A9:5A:B9:2B:9C inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3798103 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1 TX packets:3932138 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:435 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:7526 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7526 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0If your "ifconfig" command does not print something similar, it is probably because you do not have the ethernet cards installed; they were not recognized because of conflicts or what ever; the appropriate drivers were not available; or you did not setup the initial network configuration when loading the operating system. If you have gotten this far, I assume that your cards are installed, and you have the appropriate kernel drivers already installed. If not, please see the explanation on "Ethernet drivers".
