Well, it would be helpful if you tell us which card you are using and 
what you are connecting to. Another computer? Mac or PC? A LAN? DHCP or 
static addressing?

You need to set up ethernet using the TCP/IP control panel. You may 
also need to set up AppleTalk, depending on what you are connecting to. 
If you installed OS 8.6 before the network card was present, you may 
need to do a custom install and select to add only the networking 
components required for ethernet.
