It ought just to connect.

There's an icon in your system tray that looks like two computers. If 
you left click on it, what do you see? If there is more than one 
available connection, it may not know which one to connect to, and you 
will need to choose one.

If that doesn't solve it, right click on the icon, and make sure "Enable 
networking" is checked. If so, then choose "Connection Information". 
What do you get? Better yet, from a terminal, run "/sbin/ifconfig" and 
post the output here.

Choose "Edit connections". Select the connection you want to use and 
choose "Edit". Make sure "Connect automatically" is checked. Check the 
IPv4 settings, and make sure they are right for your network.
