If you are using the Ethernet connection you should just be able to set up a PPPoE connection and off you go.

If you want to use the USB connection, you'll have to download and compile a driver for your kernel, which is a bit trickier:

You should consider getting yourself a wireless router, you will not regret it.

i have downloaded Virtual box. I setup the linux on the virtual box and it configure the network on its own. My iburst is connected and when i was on the VM i could go into google with no troubles. So my virtual pc is on the internet.
