Well, using an internal network card, and cat5 cable would probably be best. As for your xf86 issue, sounds like a monitor was deleted from your conf file.

well, this is rather vague....

umm, scroll mouse in X = edit your conf file and put

Code:

    Option "Buttons" "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

under your mouse

the 'no screen found' was an existing problem -- look at your first post. do you have more info on that, and what you were doing when that started?

--what exactly is:

Wot secesh said is exatly wot i did, i entered that under my mouse input. ok the exact error was sumthing to do with the mouse line 287 fatal error no screen found, and when i removed the line again X worked fine.

code:

Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Nz_boy_ copy the part related to your mouse from your XF86Config file to see if the syntax is right.
