Run ifconfig -a and post the output. If your machine have Firewire,
it may be that your NIC is not eth0.
Also, double check your ethernet cable connections to this computer.
Is the light on the router for the port this cable is plugged into
lighting up?

I have checked the cable connnections. There are green lights on both ends.
Here's ifconfig -a:

Thanks again!
Seems that everyone is telling you how to set up your interface using
CLI. Give the GUI utilitis a try:
In Gnome click on System->Administration->Network, select the
interface you want to configure, make sure that it is checked, then
click "Edit" icon. In the General tab make sure that the Nickname is
"eth0"; the box in front of "Activate device when computer starts" is
checked; "Automatically obtain IP address with" is selected/enabled
with "dhcp" chosen from dropdown list; provide a hostname for your
computer; and check the box for "Automatically obtain DNS information
from provider". Click "OK" after you are done.
Restart your computer or use "service network restart" from commandline.
