Bug Connecting to the Internet

I have just installed Linux and everything looks great, but how do I get my browser (Mozilla) to connect to my internet service provider?

I have a cable connection to Bigpond in Australia, if that means anything - the ISP will not provide support for Linux.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
