Couple of questions I've been struggling to find answers about my new Ubuntu install 6.10

My machine = Intel core due 6600, P5N32 Asus Premium SLI nvidia 590 chipset, nvidia 7950 GX2, 2gb Corsair ddr2, audigy 2 zs sound

Everything went smoothly but:

1. I have no internet connection. I have tried setting the ip manually but it wont even connect to my router. I have tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart but that did not help. It has found my two networking connections eth0 and eth1 and have tried auto discover and manual ip but no joy.

2. I am using a widescreen lcd display and cannot for the life of me get it to the proper res of 1360x768 60hz 16:9.

3. When I connect my two other hard drives which have my backup files on (NTFS) it won't boot into ubuntu but gives this error: Busybox - can't access tty; job control turned off

I really want to make the switch from Windows XP to Linux but have only just got into Linux and am struggling atm.

If anyone has any advice or tips I will be very grateful.

Cheers
