Answer 1

Make sure that your router has DHCP enabled.

Answer 2

You are not connecting to the internet through your computer.  You might want to get the linux drivers for your particular network card and that will solve the issue, hopefully.  If not, then setup a router that connects you automatically then connect to the router.
