[SOLVED] How do I get internet connection working in Ububtu 9.04?

[Rainbowserpant]

I have just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my daughters pc which also has xp installed as a dual boot.

I am unable to access the internet via ethernet or wireless in Ubuntu however when booted into xp I am able to connect to the internet and my home network.

Can anyone please help me work out how to get a ethernet and/or wireless connection working while booted in Ubuntu.

Thanks for your time and help,

Steve

For Ethernet card, what type of connection do you have?
