Funny, Ubuntu follow Debian's /etc/network/interfaces stuff,
interfaces(5). Had you set up your Slack as DHCP (and that server is all
set and go), then you could pitch this in the file above:
| auto lo eth0
| iface lo inet loopback
| iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then throw away Ubuntu's default config.

Of course you can't, because

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Seems your traffic's moving to that address above. If there is *indeed*
a gateway using that address then you should be fine; otherwise, you'll
need to fix that.
Ubuntu also doesn't have a firewall on by default, for the usual reasons
of network accessibility (it can't know the network topology in advance)
and user accessibility (newbs might have trouble, given that they might
have trouble already on installing).
