Have a look on the net, there are ways to make a bootable (USB) flash drive.
An other option is a USB CD/DVD drive, surely you can borrow one for a

Then fix your present box!
Sounds like a nice rig for the purpose.

You might have to lay out some cash for a USB memory stick or just ask
the pertinent questions in this group (alt.os.linux.ubuntu) or the

You could start by posting here how you are so sure DHCP and the network

A ping or trace would be nice too.
