I agree a proper router and ubuntu 6.06 LTS in the appropriate place would 
be of most benefit.
At present I am having a hard time finding a computer that passes both 
ethernet detection test and the dhcp auto configuration procedures.

Only one computer I have tried it on has passed both steps.  I have tried 
installation with brand new and 2nd hand computers.  In these instances 
ethernet detection was found but dhcp autoconfiguration failed.  Is this 
uncommon?  Would it still be possible to network/ping with only ethernet 
detection and no dhcp?

p.s.

Done contacted my M.P a while back
