How to connect to the internet?

[Guest]

Hello community,
I installed kubuntu yesterday, and I really like how customizable it is, i feel like a complete idiot, but how do you connect to the internet with it?
I have a usb760 modem, and can connect to the internet with ubuntu.

Thanks for your replies, if you need more info just ask

I see that there have been quite a few threads about this issue just searching on the internet.

Here's some reading:
How To: Mobile Broadband Connections
Verizon Novatel 760 Modem
Any help?

If you are still having trouble, we need more information. What version of Kubuntu are you using? What are your machine specs? Is the device recognized at all when plugged in?

when it's plugged in should tell you if it's recognized.

If it works in Ubuntu, the easiest (though not most elegant) way would be to install network-manager-gnome, after a reboot this should fire up the Ubuntu standard network management in the system tray.

Only drawback is that you'll need a network connection to do this, but maybe you can plug the machine into a cable LAN, temporarily ...
