@Seth it's beginning to get on a couple of nerves for me too. there's no fixing it though. it's one of those how much is forking for good design and is worth maintaining and how much does it just create community divide.
On the Windows machine, open a command prompt and run: netstat
This will show you the IP addresses and ports of any connected devices. Verify that the device is using a 169.254.x.x address, and then follow the instructions provided by conman253.
@Seth nope. it's probably the OP using a straight-through cable on full duplex instead of a crossover if it's a direct connection between two PCs, so even the other answer is probably not correct.
@FEichinger my guess is a geo-local cache-ing server that's trashing you. you're way geographically closer to each other than @Seth or myself. and it's working fine for us, but not for you.
I know I'm not suitable to be a mod given my general demeanor... I think of myself as something more like a seasoned user where I know the right people to ping if something REALLY needs attention.
I can tell you that I'm not planning to run, because AU has long been off my radar. And I've recently made my stance on the issues AU faces very clear.
Not to mention that I very much disagree with the direction Canonical is taking, and due to the standing AU has gained (relative to the rest of the Ubuntu land) over the last year, I'm not going to support that.
I have an acer aspire r7 , its a convertible laptop/tablet.
I am interested in running a UI which is more like ubuntu touch. I installed the 13.10 thinking it was going to be more touch friendly, but it is not.
Is there some desktop environment or window manager I can use that has a more touch ...
I'm just going to abuse my mod powers for the next few weeks during the election, so all the candidates think it's awesome. Then when they get elected, they will be wrong.

@jrg Frankly, I think the issues the site currently has can't be fixed by moderators.
They're two-fold: External influence giving people the wrong impression of the site before they come here, and low amount of voters generating too little traction on the site itself.
If, half-way through, we're still stuck with ... well, less-than-desirable options, I might run just for the sake of it. But my nomination would most likely consist of "Yeh, I know this is shit and I'm pretty annoyed by this all, too, so whatever."
I have several Linux machines, all of them running the same kernel (Ubuntu 12.04, 3.5.0-45-generic). On one of them, I am unable to use chrt at all. If I attempt to use it on a new process, I get the following error:
$ sudo chrt -f 1 ls
chrt: failed to set pid 0's policy: Operation not permitted...

I use Adobe Captivate when I want to give out instructions.
(You can create some advanced guides, when you learn how to manage the application)
