Alright.. you are talking wireless... Like I said in the guide.. 99% of the wireless drivers do not work in Linux. For some reason that is the one think that Linux really sucks at... Even if it detects your wireless stuff, like it does on one of my laptops, the driver are still not configured correctly to get the machine onto a network using a wireless NIC. Ethernet should still work... Since you are having problems and because it is on a laptop, I will write a guide on how to fix the problem, using ndiswrapper, and post it by Saturday.
BTW I move your thread in here because we have a new Linux help section

Why didnt you tell me you rocked Linux? Why cant you use wireless? Driver issue? I know nothing about Linus except Swimmer says to use it.. I trust him.
yeah i am fine using wired untill i get a chance to check out some more options for wireless. because if i need wireless i still have windows installed
