Its not really that I NEED it, Im just bored and wanted to play around with it y'know? and I would replace the disc drive, Unfortunately the motherboard is the problem, Also the reason why the pcmcia wont read. If I can get the internet working on that thing, thats all i want. I dont know if its the adapter or not, but its hard to figure out, anyone wanna help with that?

Motherboard issues are tough man. There isn't a lot you can do if things are erratic or not working besides opening it up and looking for physical problems.

You can use Unetbootin to set up your computer to boot from a Linux installer. I did this when my DVD drive didn't work and I had no USB sticks around.
Obviously you need a working OS to do this... mine was very screwed up, but it still worked well enough to do this.
If you don't have one, doing a network boot to a Linux netinstall image is the next best (easiest) option.

So your laptop cd drive doesnt work so booting off cd is out of the question, usb is out so usb boot/file transfer is out of the question, and theres a network problem so Coma's method of unetbootin wont work either. I think its time for it to move to the great RMA in the sky.

Only other option is to remove mobo ,all the components and bake it hoping you repair some broken solder connections,which from the sound of your case is probably why everything quit.Way more trouble than it's worth.
