Why doesn’t Linux Recgonize my network adapter?

Of all my Linux Distrubutions none of them recgonize my Network Adapter, When i use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 only one of them acually works.
Also when i use the live-cd of these linux distros, my adapter gets no power.
i dont really need the speed booster feature in linux

-Dream Linux
-Damn Small Linux (DSLiunx, Or DSL)
-Feather Linux
-Knoppix Linux
-Puppy Linux
-Ubuntu Linux

How do I install Ubuntu on my virtual machine?

I have an Ubuntu 6.10 live Cd and Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. I went through the wizard by creating a new virtual hard disk. Now I have the Virtual PC Console showing my newly created virtual machine, and status saying “Not Running”.
What do I do now? Please forgive me, I’m a Linux newbie ;-)

Linux in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, best advice welcome plz?

I’ve installed MS Virtual PC 2007 on my pc (specs: 1.5Gb RAM, AMD Athlon 64 socket 754 CPU, BarRacuda 160Gb HDD =MID Rate: 683Mbps)
I’ve tried running the Knoppix Live CD in VPC 2007, but it freezes 80% of the way through the boot sequence. I have also tried Kubuntu KDE 8.0.4, which like the Knoppix runs well as a dual boot, however, the Kubuntu installation aborts immediately saying that it can’t run due to the fact that it needs 64/86 architecture, but it has only detected i586 architecture. I’m sure my PC meets the requirements, however I have read mixed reviews of Linux derivatives on MS VPC 2007, but I’m sure there must be a way. I’m currently downloading Mandriva Linux, and I’m hoping I can get it running. I prefer MS VPC 2007, but I also have VM Player installed. Any suggestions? Thanks.
