marcobra (Marco Braida) proposed the following answer:
Using the ethernet cable connection can you see the http://82.105.36.210
site elart.it site...?

Please also open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories →
Terminal and type or copy and paste:

ifconfig

here mine as your reference (i think is very difficult to you to easily
and quickly copy and paste terminal result here, without a Ubuntu
working network connection):

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:d4:ce:5d:2a  
          inet addr:192.168.1.40  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:2505338 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2938893 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:868913950 (868.9 MB)  TX bytes:2835800509 (2.8 GB)

you must get an assigned ip from your router to your ethernet card
something like mine "192.168.1.40" if you don't get the ip from router
please configure (using top right network icon) your network interface
as dhcp an please using terminal type:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you
type it, then press enter

Then try to connect and repeat the

ifconfig

command to check you have an assigned ip for your nic now.

Hope this helps
