Can you be a bit more specific?
Are you trying to connect via wifi or ethernet?
If wifi, are you using any encryption?
Did Ubuntu install Network Manager?
Is your cable modem set to provide the IP address via dhcp?

This is odd because when I installed an older version of Ubuntu on an older laptop I had no problems connecting. I installed, clicked on Firefox, and there the world wide web was, ready to enjoy. Now, I have a new laptop (same make) and a new version of Linux (same distro), yet it apparently doesn't recognize my cable modem or something.
