If you are using Kubuntu or Ubuntu or any other *buntu then it usually picks-up on your internet connection automatically. You might want to go up to the top taskbar and click on the 2 tele/monitor screens icon beside the volume control but really if you are new to setting up network connections then you might want to visit Ubuntu help at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Signpost/Questions#help Also this guide might help generally
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows even if you're using something other than *buntu that last guide can be handy :)
However, if you are not using *buntu then it really depends on which version of linux unless you really get down to the command-line for this but this forum should be able to help either way
http://www.linuxquestions.org as it deals with a huge range of different versions of linux but is dedicated to linux support.
It might be worth popping along to
http://distrowatch.com to see if you recognise which of those versions of linux you are using. If you see your version listed down on the right-hand side then click on it and navigate to the "User Forums" for your version of linux. They should be able to give much better help in there.
