what are the settings for it? (auto-detect, static, dns...)

in the shell as root when you do:

# ifup eth0

what happens?

can you ping your other computer that is using the usb connection?

Also,  what distro are you using and what version?  It's good to know b/c each distro does the ethernet configuration files differently.
