Plug in the an ethernet cable. Boom, your done.
Really, what do you need to set up? Getting on a network depends on the state of that network. For the most part, you just need to plug it in, from the ethernet port on your mac to a port on some switch somewhere. The mac will default to using DHCP for addressing.
Any other details?
