There is a suggestion that the network card may be bad, or improperly installed (not seated properly), or that perhaps some device on the other end of the cable is bad (router, switch, cable modem etc). To trouble shoot this, I would methodically go over the network situation beginning with just unplugging the network cable and possibly going so far as to remove the card itself. Can you provide any more information? Does it ever get to a login? Who informed you that x.org did not install correctly? I suspect you've got a couple of things going wrong there. You might want to boot into single-user mode (it should be an option in the GRUB menu). From there you can do more trouble shooting. hth A
