The internet should "just work". Try powering the computer on with the ethernet cable plugged in.

Open up a terminal (Applications>Accessories>terminal) and type the command "lspci" without the quotes. This should tell you what ethernet hardware you have and whether Ubuntu is having a hard time.

type the command "dmesg" which outputs information about the boot process. Look for errors here.

Lastly, congratulations for trying Linux but more importantly welcome to the Linux community! Don't be shy. Hop on irc and ask around http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chatirc http://www.ubuntu.com/support/CommunitySupport. There may also be a Linux User Group (LUG) in your area.
