Could I use Wine Tools to emulate windows and run netgear wireless assistant? Would that work or is there an easier way. I don’t want to install any linux distros, just run live cds. Is there any distro that will easily let m connect to a wireless network?

I want to learn more about Linux and the different distros before I try to dual boot or anything of the sort. I tried live cds, but you can’t learn much from those, as you can’t save anything and download anything without having to keep resetting an internet connection. I tried running Linux through Windows Virtual PC 2007 and 2004, but neither of them work. I’ve heard of VMware, but which one do you download? I’ve also heard of Virtual Box and am considering trying it.
So which download is the right one?

Im having a problem with one of my computers getting online. It has a 169.254.x.x IP address. I tried the basic resets for a 169.254 but none work. It is also the same IP when there is no ethernet plugged in and it has no info for subnet. It isn’t a wireless IP because the computer has no wireless card. It is also not an OS issue because I get a looping 127.0.0.1 when booting to a Linux live CD. Can someone help me getting back online?
There is no router.
