Hello friends, I have recently installed ubuntu 7.10 version, that was successful, but the real problem is that I'm not able to browse the internet....I mean to say that I am not at all able to connect to the intenet. As I am not from computers.....am a little bit confused with this. I would welcome anyone to solve the problem for me.
Thank you...

Do you have an ethernet interface?
Is it connected to a switch or hub?
Is there a link light illuminated both at the interface and the hub/switch?

Most likely you need to go to a shell prompt and view the interface: typically ifconfig and typically your ethernet port is eth0

then, once you identify the interface, issue a ifup eth0

Of course, there may be an xwindows utility to configure/enable the ethernet card and assign an IP address....
