Yes possably you did miss configuring the LAN when you installed slack, you
also missed providing us with helpfull information.
Name and type of card. ?
{Slack version, 9.1 has a different config file for LAN networking.}
Results of ifconfig -a
Does your lan use a dhcp server for configuration, or do you set your own
address?.

The command 'netconfig' may help you.
Setting your device driver in /etc/rc.d/rc.netdevice should take care of
loading the module for the card.

Thats about all i can say because you failed to provide the info needed to
give a direct answer.
