    Boot from a live CD/DVD and see if that works. It sounds like the network configuration is broken.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Not yet, but I don't know how to do it neither XD.
    But I don't think that is the key problem. Coz I have tried from many sources, from my CD, my friend's CD, my Flash Memory, my friend's Flash Memory, which were downloaded separately, independently. I think the trouble here is the Ethernet Card, there should be some ways to solve this... and I'm waiting for a miracle...
