netsetup is an editable script (you will find it in /root).
Until you edit it, netsetup does nothing.

How do you (physically) connect to the router/modem?
If it is via a network card, then you first need to
activate it (by insmod-ing the appropriate module).
Then do:
--------------------------------
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100
route add default gw 192.168.1.1
--------------------------------

Cheers,
Steven
