Internet Trouble


Ok, before i used linux on my computer at home, on cox cable, things were good. now im on a new computer, and using DSL. so far all 3 distro's have not been able to get on the internet. I just installed Ubuntu, and it reads the ethernet connections, says its active. when i goto the DNS tab, the host and all that or there, but i cant logon onto GAIM or goto any websites. any ideas how to fix?
