What type of internet connection?

go to the command prompt and type

ping 127.0.0.1

You should get four good replys. If you do, it usually means that the network card and TCP are installed. If not, open your network properties and check that the Network card is installed and that TCP/IP is configured.

If TCP is configured, go back to your command prompt and type in Ping Google.com
Once again you should see 4 good replies. if not try

ping 216.239.37.99 (google's IP address)

If you get responses from using the IP address , but not the name (google.com) then you need to check your DNS settings.

Are you getting you IP settings automatically through DHCP? Or, are the manually configured. If manually configured, you should be able to copy the DNS server settings from your linux installation.

Click Start, right click My Network Places, Choose properties, double-click Local Area Connection and then click properties.

Highlight Internet Protocol TCP/IP and then click properties. This will open you IP settings. Here, you will see what IP address is configured if any. Or if "Obtain IP address Automatically" is checked.

If your router is setup to hand out the IP addresses to requesting machines then you definitely want to have it set to automatic. If your not sure, I would just write down what is currently in the settings, reset it to obtain automatically and reboot. It really can't hurt, and my gut feeling is, it will fix it.
