well its up good start
next is more todo with how you are connecting to the internet
1) dialup winmodem? good luck, FAKEmodem driver dependent POS
2) dialup real modem alot simpler ppp is what is needed
3) broadband via USB, its getting better and more distro's shipping with the drivers
4) broadband via NIC/RJ45 WINNNAR!!!!! simple
Assuming it is broadband (USB or NIC) the key here is seeing if
1) yr network card has been detected
2) is it picking up an IP
quickest way to find out is to execute the command
you will have lo (it is internal loopback device, needed), the question is whether you have eth0,... or another device
This output shows my eth0 device configured for net access. IF you don't have that try
this will get ifconfig to displace all network devices (configured or not). This will then allow us to see whether it is higher-level networking issue (ie dhcp) or low-level drivers (ie has your network card been detected)

This output shows my eth0 device configured for net access. IF you don't have that try
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig -a
