LAN lights blinks every now and then

[shakunim]

Hi

I just installed ubuntu 8 (from december 2008 digit dvd) as a second OS in my comp with xp sp2. But now when I am using internet in ubuntu, the LAN lights blinks for 5 minutes and then stop blinking completely. Same with xp.

I have another computer with vista. Both these computers are connected to a hub with star topology, and I am using BSNL ZTE modem, which is also, obviously connected to the hub. Internet working fine in the other computer, the problem is only with the dual boot PC, although I suspect it has anything to with the problem.

So how do I get the lan working.

Thanks.
