BT5 should automatically run dhclient to get an IP address. Is your router configured to use DHCP or are you doing static IPs? What does ifconfig show?

You don't need GUI to connect wired. The GUI for wireless is "wicd-gtk".

Try running "dhclient".

Also make sure you interface is up (ifconfig, ifconfig eth0 up)

If your modem is a bridge and if your ISP requires it you may need to configure PPPoE
