Is there a model number on it somewhere? usually on the label with the serial number n such.
Oh and what ports have u tried to connect, i'm guessing its a nats router (altho i dont really know without a model number) so i would guess STP1 to STP4 should be connected to your computer via cat5 cable (probably STP1 for config access but try all 4), but do not use STP5 as this should be connected to the internet.
Also check your network settings and set it to 'obtain ip address automatically', if the router has a dhcp server as most routers do it will assign an ip address.
Altho looking at the photo it is a 'hub' not a 'router' so the above doesnt apply as there is no config settings for a 'hub' (a hub is just a repeater http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub) and its only 10 baseT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE-T (10Mbps) instead of 100 baseT (100Mbps) which will slow your connection down.
