I presume you mean to boot the hd from the live cd. If so I do not understand, why? Install grub on the hd and boot on start up.

No, it doesn't work that way. When you're live, you're live! By network, what do you mean, the internet or your local LAN?

You'll never find out if you don't ask.
Sounds like a driver issue - odd for Ubuntu. From your liveCD enter this command from a terminal (enter your password when prompted)
Code:
sudo lshw -C network
In the segment for wireless, look for the driver name.
Do the same on your disk based system. If the driver is missing, try this
Code:
modprobe <driver-name>
where <driver-name> is what you got from the liveCD.
Else post back what you got at each stage, and see if anyone can help.
