Switch internet connection from windows to Ubuntu 8.04

[Ernest G Mueller]

Existing connection from Comcast cable service is via a modem and Linksys
RVS 4000 Security Router to 3 computers, all running Windows XP. There is no
other networking or sharing between the computers.

I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and managed to install it, however, I can not get
onto the internet.
I studied the documentation, tried many different things, but can not get
the internet connection to work.
I have the settings form the existing windows set-up and can not figure out
which data to enter where in the Ubuntu system.

Could anybody help me please on this with rather basic instructions - I am
new with Linux and getting frustrated after hours of trial.

Thanks and regards,
