See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol You can try running the system without installing it (in the so-called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD -mode ) and see if the browser can connect to some of your favourite web sites, and if so - it should also just work in the hard-disk-installed version of Ubuntu. Finally, two notes: 1. The GNUbies-IL mailing list went into disuse and I believe you should in general use Linux-IL instead: http://www.iglu.org.il/mailing-lists/linux-il.html Part of the original motivation for creating GNUbies-IL was a Linux-IL policy that prohibited beginners questions, but I don't think it's a problem now . I CCed my reply to Linux-IL. 2. Ubuntu should not be spelled in all-caps, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 . 3. Many people dislike the default Ubuntu Unity desktop environment, so you may opt to use something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfce or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE instead.
