Hi,
I think we need a little more information, do you have just one computer and is it running just linux?
Do you have a router? Is it wireless? If your ISP (whomever you pay to get internet service) is Verizon or Comcast in the U.S. they do require that you have a windows machine and internet explorer. If you have a friend with a laptop that you can plug into your modem and that machine is running windows you should be able to setup your internet connection and once the connection is setup you will be able to plug any computer (Linux or wIndows) into your modem and get online.Once again please be more specific, this is a great community and the more information you give us the more ammunition we have to shoot down your problem
