I'm going to assume it's an ethernet connection to a modem/router.
First, you'll want to see if /etc/network/interfaces has something like
the following:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
This should be the default.
If it does, see if your interface is getting an address by running:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0
If it's up it should have an address and should say "UP BROADCAST".
Here's what mine looks lke:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:4f:d9:dc:14
inet addr:192.168.2.101 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21e:4fff:fed9:dc14/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:7284830 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6643140 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

If your interface isn't up but you do have the DHCP entry in
/etc/network/interfaces, try looking in /var/log/syslog for DHCP output to
see what's going on.
If your interfaces file looks different, what's in it?
