  • Red and green on constantly is what the 2 does with no SD card in. Either you did not insert it properly, or it simply does not like the card -- see also: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q/28571/5538 There are a few other reports of this here.

This is not the way the Pi is designed to work. It assumes a network with a DHCP server. In this way it is no different to any other computer system. You could assign a static IP address, but you should refine your question and determine what you are trying to achieve.
