Check the ink below which has very specific instructins on connecting to the internet with Puppy:

Puppy Linux Community - Home

If you google "puppy linux connect to internet" you will get quite a number of hits. If you have used a tutorial similar to the above and it failed, you will need to post specific information as to when it failed. at which step.
