First - please use the subject.
Second - once you have booted into your "demo disk", open a terminal
and ping something. For example, www.yahoo.com.

If you can't ping the actual url above, use the IP below.
69.147.76.15

If you don't get a reply from either - It's possible that there
may be some sort of configuration anomoly with your home network.

I would not be so quick to blame the CD when in fact it most likely
works for nearly everyone (I did say nearly, didn't I?!)

Paste the results then I'm sure someone else might lend some help.
