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?

    copies our own identity. So that's why we are absolutely equal on web. It doesnt mat....

  18. Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
    linux operating system (46)
    About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
    tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
    Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
    to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
    should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
    a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

    DC++, or BitComet, or have an ftp server running, etc... Now, whichever ports I use, nothing seems

    require a vertical scrollbar. In this case, Internet Explorer will disable the scrollbar though not
    remove it. In my opinion this would be correct behaviour. The disabled however not hidden scrollbar
    means that a switch between a preview of your website in Mozilla Firefox and MS Internet Explorer
