EeeBox PC B202 - Intel Atom N270 1.6Ghz

160Gb HDD (Hitachi HTS54321)
All known updates applied.
This is dual boot PC with winXP HP SP3 (32bit) and Mint 17.
QUESTION: How do I get my ethernet connection to work?
PROBLEM: Ethernet works on winXP, but I can't get the ethernet connection to work on the Mint side.
Network Manager icon:
Ethernet Network - grayed out
device not managed - grayed out
Tried this:
1. Ethernet problem exists using Installation CD in trial mode. Only Wireless works.
2. After installation to HDD. I rebooted and selected "Linux recovery mode". Selected "Enable Network" which produced this error
ModemManager [772] (v1.0.0)
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00.0c.1/0000:02:00:0 not supported by plugin
3. Rebooted and logged into Mint. Used Network-Manager Icon in taskbar
a. Ethernet Connection 1 exists. (despite the fact that Network-Manager has ethernet network and device not managed grayed out)
b. I modified "Ethernet Connection 1". Changed it to static IP using "IPv4 Tab"
the result is...
$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXX (I've deleted actual id for post)
inet addr:10.10.0.90 Bcast:10.10.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
