Thanks Roy and Paul, My mistake was just that - my mistake. I had loaded 12.04 on disk and then onto my computer, but it did not work. Everyone said it should connect easily. I didn't understand why I could not get it to work. Then I discovered my mistake. I installed 10.04 instead of 12.04. So I feel very bad for causing such consternation. Thanks for helping.
My next message should be from a Linux Ubuntu 12.04/.10 connection.
