This computer I am on dual boots windows and ubuntu, I am able to surf
the internet fine and view my network through windows no problem and
also Ubuntu 8.04 when installed. 8.10 however does not allow me to
surf or see the network at all. i find it strange that the 8.04 works
fine right off the back but 8.10 doesn't seem to connect to the
internet at all. I have this problem with 2 computers with 8.10 but
works fine with 8.04 and windows on both. this is why I was asking
about a firewall or some setting that is in 8.10 that I don't know
about. I can always revert back to Ubuntu 8.04.
