The reason it is asking for download from internet is probably you have the online repositories still enabled and they have the latest/updated software than in the DVD. So basically what you can do at this moment is, simply comment out all deb lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and then add the DVDs using apt-cdrom add, or through the graphical interface in Synaptic Package Manager.
After doing this do an apt-get update, or reload using Synaptic Package Manager. So finally you will have softwares only from the DVDs listed in your package manager. Now install the required softwares and it will ask only for DVDs and you don't need internet connection. And regarding the DVD not working on your machine could be a faulty cdrom drive, try cleaning it with the cleaning cd's available in the market. -- Anoop Jacob Thomas http://anoop.caremedia.org -- "Freedom is the only law".
