When I plug my ethernet cable into the computer, Ubuntu doesn't recognize it? Why might this be? My computer recognized it when I used Windows.
Linux is not Windows.

Ubuntu just may not have support for your ethernet port. Look online for third party drivers.
What brand and model do you have?
Yes, what NIC are you using? And what version of Ubuntu?

You may also be able to edit /etc/rc.conf, your interface may just not be listed there.
