It takes about 10 mins on the RER (not Metro). These aren't quite as frequent as the metro but are about every 10-15 minutes, so it could take up to 25mins if you are unlucky. With walking through the stations and buying tickets it is probably between 30 and 45 minutes train door to train door. Only a couple of stops though, and no changing.
Plus of course, you'll need to buy a ticket. When I was at GdN recently there were quite big queues, even for the automatic machines. I read somewhere that you can get metro tickets (the tickets are the same for RER and metro) at Waterloo, so it might be worth your while if the connection is a bit tight for some peace of mind.

micksup. As pendodave suggests, the RER is best, though it is a hassle carrying stuff through the barriers, downstairs and upstairs etc. It's no major problem, though.
At a rough guess it would be a 20 min cab ride in traffic, though a French cab driver would probably do it in 3 mins.

micksup, like pendodave and David Goldsmith say ! Take the RER line D, Direction Melun. The trip takes 8 minutes. The RER platform is about 5 minutes walk from the Eurostar terminal, but well signposted

But make sure you are one of the first off the train to the taxi rank or you may be another 20 minutes or more in the queue.

micksup, Definitely get the RER - it's only 2 stops, but it's a bit confisuing buying tickets as the Gare du Nord/Lyon is never marked on the ticket machines AFAICS! Also don't take too much heavy luggage as you can't take your trolley with you.
