You could try the net-installation: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_0810 (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_0810)

the easiest way is to do a fresh kubuntu install first (without "mce install") and then follow the wiki for internet install exactly

if you get internetconnection at eth1, use it for the updates and install...you can switch the interfaces later easiely in webadmin

your core needs to have 2 networkinterfaces, so add a second PCI or usb-card! also check the wiki and manuals to get an idea how LinuxMCE works and what it is about.
LinuxMCE is not just a stupid mediacenter, it's waaaayyyy more.

It really looks like you used the wrong option to install kubuntu in your first post.
If you boot with the DVD snapshot it has a specific option for ubuntu install for LinuxMCE. Choose that option for ubuntu install.
Make sure you have your internet connection connected to your eth0 (most likely your onboard nic).
Do a sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Then reboot and click the MCE install button on the desktop.
If for whatever reason your nics get swapped during ubuntu installation, just switch your cables.
Try again please, and read up on network cards in linux and things you can do about it if your nic's keep you from connecting. I have never had to "setup a connection" myself, should not be needed.
Hope this helps,
Richard
