Could you please elaborate your problem or provide the information about the computer and the router that you are using to connect to the Internet. This would help get a better understanding about your problem. As of now, I doubt that you have all the LAN drivers installed and working properly.

I just checked the link that you provided and I'm quite amazed by the news. I had heard of such instances but wasn't sure about the genuineness of the talks. These mails are such that anyone would open and download the files. I think that the scams of this kind are getting bolder and bolder every day and causing a greater threat to the security of the people. We need to be more careful while accessing the mails of these kinds, this is the only way out as of now.

Linux has been the talk of hte town in the recent times and is bound to get more and more popular because of its usability, you can model the OS to behave the way you want it to. It also provides a better protection than the Windows. Linux also help you to enhance the look of your OS graphically and OpenOffice doesn't allow you to miss MS Office even for a little while. There are even better audio and video players in Linux, thus Linux is a complete package of a good OS.
