Have you configured your network card yet? If not, settrans
/servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (address) -g
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (default gateway) -m xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (subnet mask)

Once your nic is configured, be sure to create a resolve.conf in /etc
for dns resolution and update your sources.list in /etc/apt and you
should be golden.
