OOps really vague sorry about that. I downloaded the binary virsion of the latest virtual box witch i believe it is 2.1. I tried to use the internet and it did not work at all. I have sound and usb working just not the internet.

Is the Internet Wireless, Dial-Up, DSL, Cable... what type is it?

Internet is DSL

Should not matter whether it is DSL or Cable. What does matter is what interface you told VBox to use. To start with I suggest the host interface because you do not need to do port forwarding or anything fancy.
Then you need to make sure that you are in the same subnet with the host.
Send the ifconfig from ubuntu and the ipconfig /all from windows and lets take a look.

hey guys thanks for you help I really do appreciate everything. I installed the virtual box guest additions and it worked. The Internet is working and when all the downloads are done I hope everything else works just as well.
