Oh?  How much disk space does it have?

Also, does it have a wireless PC card and/or a built-in wireless adapter?

Likely.  If you want to do that, I suggest doing:

 $ sudo aptitude install zip

and find out what other packages would be need to be installed.  Then, do:

 $ sudo aptitude install unzip
and find out what other packages would be need to be installed.

So, in addition to the "zip" and "unzip" packages, you'll also need to
download those other packages.  You can download all the packages from
http://packages.ubuntu.com .

However, I urge you to try to figure out what's going on with the network
adapter and/or network.  It will make your life much, much better.  This
article:

looks good for networking troubleshooting.  I suggest reading it and going
through it.
