[SOLVED] internet config

[Cruit]

Recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on laptop - new partition.
Have PC running XP with internet connection.
I have a satellite connect from Germany. I live in Turkmenistan.
I know all IP addresses, subnet mask, Default gateway, etc.
Can someone help configure internet on laptop w/Ubuntu? I am not the fastest ball down the alley but I shouldn't have too much problem with the terminal. Just be gentle.
I just completed a pppoeconf search and was informed something or another couldn't be found. It's a little frustrating because I need to disconnect internet cable from PC and connect to Laptop.
Thanks in advance.

Oh - let me add that I do not have an internet user name or password "supplied by ISP". But I hooked up connection OK on XP.

If you look in the taskbar, you will find there is a network icon similar to the windows ntwork icon.
Right click it and choose 'edit connections'.
Choose the type of network (wired/wireless) and choose either add or edit.
In the dhcp tab for the connection, choose manual ipaddress and add your ip address information.
