    Do you have the correct settings in prefs? Remember that the internal wifi doesn't work with MorphOS.

    That, depends upon your Router settings. And of course how you want to
    connect to your router.

    First the ehternet wire must be plugged in before (!!) booting.

    Afterwards open a shell. type

    ifconfig

    If it shows something like: inet 192.168.0.222, then DHCP is enable, but failed.
    Open network settings and check the field "router", remember the contents. Now swap to host and dns page and enter (or paste) the content as first dns server. Push save and you are done.

    If there is no IP, then open network and configure it manually. If you have a PC or OSX connected, just use the values it is using. Just change the last digit of the IP to avoid creating a dupe.
