I really do not know what is wrong. When I boot up I get 2 Ubuntus and 2 
Vistas. When I boot Ubuntu sometimes there is an Ethernet connection 
such as I am using (about 1 in 4). I like the Ubuntu. My computer is 
newish an HP with 3 gig ram, 500 gig hard drive and an Intel core 2 duo 
4500. So comments about old computers do not apply. The Ubuntu is the 
new 8.04 with extras of a July cover disk.

Obviously something is wrong with the installation. I am thinking of 
phoning Kevin for help as he lives just 1/2 mile away, but I thought I 
should try the group first if people can try not to be too technical. I 
would appreciate the help.
