Maybe your internet doesn't work due to the dhcp/dns bug? It is on ubuntu 
Breezy and Dapper (and looking at the bug reports on the internet probably 
also Hoary but I haven't tested this). 

Due to this bug on certain networks (routers) ubuntu cannot retrieve the 
needed dns information on a dhcp network. In my case I have to let the router 
release and renew it's connection everytime I boot to get the dns info. I 
know a couple of people (not myself included because I really like kubuntu) 
who tried ubuntu but removed it because it wasn't able to connect to a very 
simple basic (wired) dhcp network. (note that the network is the problem 
because other linux distro's or even windows do work on that kind of 
networks) 

So maybe you could try release and renew on your router to test if this is the 
problem?

Kind Regards,
