I was able to resize my Windows partition using Knoppix. Thanks for the help.
I have a new challenge however, I am using a D-Link DI-524 AirPlus G 802.11g/2.4Ghz Wireless router and it seems to time out frequently. When I am disconnected from the web, I am still able to ping the router. Also, NetworkManager reconnects to the web after a few minutes but it is a real hassle to be constantly dropped. If I use a wired connection I have know problems. Aside from this info I don't know where to look to correct the problem.
i love love love the Linksys WRT54G-L - make sure you the L! it runs linux. none of the others do.
then flash it with DD-WRT.

I've not tried lately, but last month I used it just fine with another router. The connection via a web browser for some reason does not work anymore. It is supposed to be accessed by 192.168.0.1 but I receive the error that the browser can't establish a connection with the server. Is this yet another indication that my router is fried?
Nope, I bought it two years ago. If I need a new router, can you recommend one that can stand up to harsh environmental conditions and can use dual voltage (110/220)? We live and work in Botswana, Africa, and the office gets rather hot (95+) and stays hot all day long and there are dust issues.
Thanks,
Tim

The easiest way is to go to a cafe with wifi and see if you can connect and for how long. If you experience the same problems, maybe it's your wifi card. If you have no problems, it's likely the D-Link router.
Does this only happen with Ubuntu, or with this machine, or with this wifi card?
The user guide that came with the router should tell you both how to find out what the current firmware version is and how to check for updates. Usually, you can connect to the router via a web browser, which also would allow you to download the latest firmware and install it on the router. But each router does things a bit differently. You may want to contact their tech support as they may know of the issue right of the bat.
If it is the router giving you problems, can you still return it?

Glad to hear that worked.
My suspicions are that the problem is with the D-Link, but that's biased because of my previous experiences with D-Link.
Some questions:
- Does this happen when you connected to other wifi routers or just this router? - Does the router run the latest firmware available for it? - Is the router sufficiently ventilated or is it hot to the touch? - Are there other wifi routers in the area on the same channel?
