Answer 1

If th computer has USB you can purchase a USB ethernet adapter.  You could also purchase a PCMCIA ethernet adapter.  The USB adapter is probably the easiest to work with.

Not sure on the Blueyonder, I would remove the program if she doesn't need it.  You can do this using the Add and Remove programs under the controll panel.

Answer 2

Wish you mentioned the model number.

Answer 3

BLUE YONDER IS BROADBAND FROM VIRGIN

Answer 4

best bet is to wipe and reinstall...its possable the cardbus isnt installing because of windows...wipe and reinstall.
