    Help installing Ubuntu Server

    So I decided to take my old computer and turn it into a server with Ubuntu Server 11.04. I'm following ItchyHippo's tutorials (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e08uQ...el_video_title). But during the install this always comes up:
    Network Autoconfiguration failed
    Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively, the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working properly.

    I'm using a qwest DSL Modem connected to a netgear FS105 Ethernet Switch, and my computer that I'm using as a server is connected to that from the port on the motherboard but I aslo have a internet card in there, its a netgear lc82c169c. The my mom's, brother's and my new computer are all connect to the switch without a problem.

    Also, I'm a complete newbie to all this

    Thanks in advance





    Also when I type: Sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces I get this

    # This file describes the network interfaces avaliable on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

    # The loopback network interfaces
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    # The primary network interface
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.5
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    netwrok 192.168.0.0
    Broadcast 192.168.0.255
    gateway 192.168.0.1
    # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
    dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1



    Ifconfig:

    lo Link encap:Local Loopback
    inet addr:XXX.X.X.X Mask 255.0.0.0
    inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
