You must be connected to internet.

At boot try to go on a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2 make a login with your user and password then type:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop gdm xserver-xorg

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Please perform the little setup procedure then restarte the pc, type:

sudo reboot

Hope This Helps

If your router can lease ip (dhcp server) try to open (using one of this editors: nano, pico, mcedit )
this file:
sudo [nano or pico or mcedit] /etc/network/interfaces

My /etc/network/interfaces content

*------------------------------------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
*---------------------------------------------

Then edit the /etc/resolv.conf
and put the openDNSserver addresses:

nameserver 82.105.36.210
nameserver 208.67.222.222

save and exit and try to restart network:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Try to update your system, type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you are still in trouble i think you must we must configure some other parameters or pppoeconf to configure your broadband access
to configure your pppoeconf simply type

pppoeconf

Hope this help
