Also if your are referring to a Macintosh Computer please specify what model it is, and if you know, what operating system version it is running? – MrDaniel – 2012-04-26T11:47:10.883

What is providing the connection through the wired network? A router? A modem? More info needed. – Dave M – 2012-04-26T11:54:02.067

1Well, it's obvious that your LAN connection uses an Ethernet cable. We need more info, please. Why can't you just plug it in? – slhck – 2012-04-26T11:59:18.733

So? Plug in your ethernet cable, set up the ethernet adapter you are good to go. See the docs at https://help.apple.com/machelp/mac/10.7/help/index.html#mh11939%27
