Thanks. 
My network connection for Blue-Bottle is working now.
My Ethernet-Card: 3COM 3C900B-COMBO 10Mbps, TP/BNC, 10BASE2
This is my configuration:

Partitions.SetConfig IDE0#02 
  BootVol1="AOS AosFS IDE0#02"
  AosFS="AosDiskVolumes.New AosDiskFS.NewFS"
  Boot="AosDisplayLinear"
  
Init="b80b4fbb0000ba1a0166b90085af07cd1026c705c00626c74502580526c74504e00526c
745062a0426c74508010426c7450a040426c6450c042666894d0d26c74511581bb8024fbb1a
49cd10b8014fb91a01cd10268b4d28268b552a"
  DWidth="1280"
  DHeight="1024"
  DDepth="16"
  DMem="4096"
  Boot1="AosKeyboard;AosMousePS2"
  Boot2="WMDecorate.Install;WMStyle.Install;WMM.OpenMenu"
  Boot3="Autostart.Run"
  CacheSize="1000"
  APM="0"
  Keyboard="KeyD.Bin"
  3C90xMedia="4"
  3C90xDuplex="0"
  LinkDevice="Aos3Com90x"
  LocalIP="134.100.104.142"
  LocalName="ICAS8.PHYSnet.Uni-Hamburg.de"
  Netmask="255.255.252.0"
  Gateway="134.100.104.254"
  Domain="PHYSnet.Uni-Hamburg.de"
  DNS0="134.100.106.2"
  DNS0="134.100.33.240"
  DNS1="134.100.9.61"
~

Important is the line
3C90xMedia="4"
because my card is 10Mbps 10BASE2 with BNC-Connector.

With the following commands I can open web-documents, can access 
my network-partition and can print to the LPR-Network-printer:

Desktops.OpenDoc http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/native/WebAos.html
Desktops.OpenDoc "ftp://ssalewsk@alpha17.physnet.uni-hamburg.de"

NetSystem.SetUser ftp:ssalewsk at alpha17.physnet.uni-hamburg.de ~
FTP.Open "ssalewsk at alpha17.physnet.uni-hamburg.de" ~

LPRPrinter.Install
Desktops.PrintDoc "laser20 at print.physnet.uni-hamburg.de" *
