How to connect to the interet with Ubuntu?

Congratulations on your installation of ubuntu! This was a tough one for me as well, but the solution is actually very easy.

I trust that you're talking about a wireless connection?

For me, I kept typing it in, to no avail, and then I realized that the SSID was a HEX code instead of a WPA or ASCII code.

Try this:
1) Click the box that says "hide/show password" or something similar, so that you can see the password when you type it in. Make sure it's visible, and copy it.
2) Try a different kind of passcode encryption type from the drop-down menu. Wherever your code was printed (on the router, or in your manual), it will probably give you information as to what kind it is (hex vs. ascii, etc.)
3) Try every kind of encryption from the list, just paste the passcode in each time. Keep the authentication as "open", but if that doesn't work, then change that as well, and try the different encryption types again.
