When your Windows XP computer has no internet connection it is either because it has not configured an IP address or some other malfunction. The good news is that Windows automatically configures your IP addres via a service called DHCP that lives happily in your router or modem. To get your computer an IP address simply restart your machine, and your router. If you don’t use a router you can restart your modem. You would be surprised the power of a system restart; it tends to resolve the most stubborn issues.

The machine hardware emulated by VirtualBox, as of 11/29/07 is too old to accommodate the kernel included in Ubuntu Gutsy server. Because of this it is recommended to use Dapper Drake, or Debian for your virtual server environment. Cheers to your server project

During the default LAMP installation of Ubuntu Gutsy Server, you will be automatically prompted to set the Mysql root user password. This is an extremely convenient feature, that consolidates an entire step. This feature among many other puts Ubuntu server edition at the top of my list for server environments. Although I currently use Debian for my server environment, I may choose to use Ubuntu to deploy a Ruby on Rails server environment.

On most all Ethernet hubs you can connection the WAN cable to any port. The same goes for your LAN cables. The hub almost always will automatically make the distinction between your LAN and WAN connections successfully providing internet access to your attached computers. Doesn’t everyone have a use for an eight (8) port hub?
