Question #78216 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78216

Description changed to:
I have recently built a recycled computer and installed it with ubuntu
(yay). I have an ethernet cable with a broadband modem.I'm trying to
connect to the internet and having no success. I have Comcast as my
internet provider. I have read some of the other posts. about calling
Comcast and getting my modem provisioned,  about powering everything
down and starting it all back up, and about resetting the modem. So I
don't know what to do. After I type this post, I will power down and try
that.( I only have one connection for two computers) If you could help
me this, that would be great. I can't wait to get off this windows based
computer and onto ubuntu!

I am led to believe that with an ethernet connection, I don't have to
reconfigure the settings in my computer. Is this true??

Ok. I powered down, and tried pushing the reset button on my modem with
no success.  I have an ethernet cable connection for internet, and it's
hooked up with a modem, but aside from that, i'm not sure what kind of
connection that i have, except that is is broadband.
