Why don't you try installing it from a USB drive?
I can connect between all Ubuntu boxes with Desktop viewer but can not connect to a Windows laptop with VNC server running nor can I connect the Windows laptop to the Ubuntu boxes.

This is the easy part, just Google WEP key generator and choose HEX.
This will do it for you.

Just select WEP (HEX) and make sure you are using HEX, if you use asii, that is Windows and Ubuntu will not be able to authenticate.
I would not upgrade, I would do a fresh install of 9.04.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by turning on and off built in wireless?
I did try bios and lt-F5 and a few others.

I got the menu.lst first, the error 17 came after.
Right now I am in Windows, I will try that is I can not get it fixed from here. Man I am tired of booting a live cd.:(
I have done it that way exactly, I changed it up a few different ways. That was the first way I tried it but got the error 17.
Thanks
I have never had to do it that way in the past, offhand, what are the commands for mounting from terminal?
TIA
