Hi again Dianne, If you know the IP address of the router, you should just be able to ping that if the card is working and configured correctly.
I assume that you haven't used the network interface before as you were using USB. Can you see it if you do lspci at a terminal? If not is the network interface on the motherboard? If it is, make sure it's not disabled in the PC's bios. If it's a PCI card, Make sure it's seated properly. Looking on the Ubuntu forums, it doesn't appear to be a particularly common problem which makes me think that it *MAY* be a hardware issue. Do you have access to another card to try?
