Did you mean 8.04 and 8.10? The latest version is 9.10. There were issues
with network connections a year or two ago, so it may simply be that you need
to upgrade to the latest version.
However, if you really have 8.10 at the moment, a clean install of 9.10 might
also be wise, since these distros are not brilliant at leapfrogging versions.
