Linux kernel compilation

I have complied the kernel with a default settings... now if I load this kernel , it'll load perfectly but the INTERNET is not workink... I think in the default settings The network modules are not included.. Can anybody help me out with the selection of the network module when i give "make menuconfig"....??

Thanks in advance..

Many network modules are indeed included in the default config, but perhaps not the right ones for you.

We can't tell you what module you need without knowing what your hardware is. See anything relevant in 'lspci | grep -i ethernet' ?
