You're not even at the point of calling your ISP until you see if you can
ping your ethernet card. 127.0.0.1 is *not* your ethernet card.

You need to configure your interface manuallyand see if you can ping it.

  ifconfig eth0 192.168.111.222 \
    netmask 255.255.255.0 \
    broadcast 192.168.111.255

Then, see if you can ping 192.168.111.222. If you can, *then* you can talk
to your network administrator. If you cannot, then you need to look at the
modules you are loading for your interface:

  lsmod

will tell you which modules are loaded.
