Hi all

I have been useing Xp for the past 2 months on my Acer Aspire 4315 and everything works fine, i have always dream to work on Linux because i had a lots about Linux OS, a friend gave me Ubuntu Cd and i installed it fine on my laptop but having difficulty to connect to the internet.

I am connect theough Maxis and also through a router because there are like 3 laptop in my Flat.
