How are you connecting to the Internet: via a router or a modem directly attached to the PC? Also, is it a wireless connection or a wired connection? The methods vary depending on how you want to connect. However, the general advice would be to enter System -> Administration -> Networking. Look for the connection you want to use and click Properties. You should then be able to fill out the required information.
If you have access to the Internet on another PC, you could try having a look at the Ubuntu documentation. |

Very singular...Ubuntu did all the work of setting up the network on its own. Which version are you using?
