Thereafter, I can't connect. I apologize for irrelevant lines, but I opted to err on the side of caution by including everything.
When I plug my ethernet cable directly into my ethernet card, ifconfig's output reads:
When I plug in the router, it reads:
No, I don't know what the absence of the inet field or ip signifies; I'm a total ignoramus regarding this! To summarize: when the ethernet cable is plugged in, I've immediate access; through the router, nothing.
How can I configure it to recognize this ip or whatever?

No, I don't know what the absence of the inet field or ip signifies; I'm a total ignoramus regarding this! To summarize: when the ethernet cable is plugged in, I've immediate access; through the router, nothing.
How can I configure it to recognize this ip or whatever?
