Sorry for being stupid, but normal setting will not load internet
I was using my laptop last night and the internet loaded just fine. So this morning I turned it on and I was looking at some web pages and then I opened up the update manager. I pressed the button to install Hardy Heron LTS 8.04 (I was anticipating the release very much) and then went through the steps. It started the update process, and it said to close all programs while loading. I did, but then it got to file 3 of 1621 and just stopped. So I was bored and I started surfing again, and then I stopped. I let my laptop sit for several hours, but when I came back it still said "downloading file 3 of 1621". I thought it might have been a really big file, but I did not care, and I couldn't open the terminal setting to see what was happening. I clicked cancel, it said abort and stuff and then it said changing settings to normal. I noticed the Update Manager had updates, so I clicked to install them, but then it froze after 8 out of 49, I clicked on the details and they said failed gutsy release.ogg or something. Then I figured the problem might be the internet connection so I opened up Firefox and sure enough no pages. I looked at my settings and they were the same as normal. So I started messing around with the settings, password type, IP address, DNS server name, gateway address, static IP DNHC, etc. What really confuses me is that (I have a plugin that gives me weather.com weather) once that obviously connected because it was giving me the weather as it hadn't in previous tries. I clicked on the link for weather.com and it did not load. I've been trying to fix these problems all day, but alas, I think I've wasted my entire day. Can someone help me please? I'm so confused.
