I need some DM advice.

I recently started up a 4e game with my friends, me being the DM. All of us first-timers, though most of us had a decent idea of what to expect based on past experiences with DnD (never playing a real game, however.)

The problem seems to be that almost no one can stay focused on the game. There are several conversations going on at once at the table at almost all times and things have to be re-explained continuously. The campaign we are running is a homebrew setup, which, in hindsight, is probably a _very_ bad idea for a first game. I have an official adventure (H2) I may try to switch to if things don't improve.

Anyway, the question is this: is this normal with introducing people to the game, or is this more likely indicative of a problem with the setup itself (DM skill, boring campaign, etc)? How do you deal with, for lack of a better term, ADD players?
