For the past day or two, I have been tinkering and setting up my new Linux software. I uploaded Ubuntu onto my old Windows XP, and now the wifi won't work.
Here's a run through of what's happening:
- I start up the computer.
- My Wifi automatically connects to my computer with full bars.
- I open Firefox. I google Reddit or I put it into the URL bar. The exact moment I press enter, my wifi turns off and disconnects.
- I go to the network menu and click "connect to a hidden network." I connect to my home's Wifi and it works. A few seconds later it turns off again.
- I go on to Ask Ubuntu and look for answers, type a few commands into the terminal and nothing works.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Keep in mind that every other device in my house works.

Note: I'm not having the on and off wifi problem now. My adapter was just overheating. I'm still having the server problem though.
