^^unfortunately not, had to buy a laptop for work, came with vista on it and I have to use powerpoint and all that shit my desktop is still in Thailand

Thought about running dual boot but I've only got 160 GB hard drive and I'm already using most of that.

Ubuntu forums as CMN said, pretty sure you will need "ndiswrapper".

Quote:
Native drivers for Unix and Linux are not available for many wireless network adapters, as manufacturers supply neither drivers nor the information required to write them. NDISwrapper allows Windows drivers available for virtually all adapters to be used under Unix and Linux.
NDISwrapper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ndiswrapper - Ubuntu WiFi in 4 Easy Steps

Not sure it will work with the LiveCD though.

Don't you have any friends who can come over to your place and help you do the settings?

Nonsense. How can reading from your router tell you about the bottle-neck getting in & out of Thailand?

i'll try again, i average about 220 kbps for download and 95 kbps upload,

this means leaving the pc on overnight to download films at about 800mb

I use bittorrent dns you must forward your port to the router so that incoming downloads will be detected and download at faster speeds......... if you search this you will see what i mean!!!!!!

I have a terrible connection and a slow pc, but it does a reasonable job though i cant watch youtube or buffered streams talking over skype is no problem.

However you can buy software that will compress information making your connection faster, whilst also managing settings for about 20 pounds

you can also find free tutorials of configurating your O/S too........
