I think your father is a smart man...

To help you better we need some infos about your hardware so please open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

lsb_release -sd; uname -a; free -t; lspci; ifconfig -a

lspci is lower of LSPCI

copy and paste result here.

Thank you

You may need to install "lspci" program first, try:
$ sudo apt-get install pciutils
then issue "lspci" again.

Can you help with this problem?
