Re: HELP!!!
Need a bit more information:
Are you using a router between your cable modem and pc?
What brand and kind of network adapter are you using?
What kernel are you using as well? From a command prompt, type "uname -r" and paste the output to your message.

Re: HELP!!!
when i type "uname -r" in the konsole, it gives me the following output: "2.6.15-23-386".Originally posted by bmr5770
No router between cable modem and pc, just direct connexion thru the Ethernet controler: "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC" (this is what Windows XP cals it). On the retail box the brand name is Repotec (www.repotec.com), the RP-1624W Series. Hope this will help...Originally posted by bmr5770Comment

Re: HELP!!!
Still more information is needed:
What are the contents of the /etc/network/interfaces file?
If in the terminal, you enter the command:
what is the response?Code:ifconfig
If eth0 shows up in ifconfig, then try running:
Code:sudo ifdown eth0 sudo ifup eth0

Re: HELP!!!
ok, i'm in wondows now, so i can't see the output, but i have seen around the forum the "ifconfig eth0" command, and have tried it, and my network adapter was present... i'll try the other, and provide all the info needed. bye...Comment

Re: HELP!!!
1. contents of the /etc/network/interfaces file:
"auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp"
2. When i type iconfig the "eth0" appears al "lo". After that i type "sudo ifdown eth0" and it tells me:"Network Unreachable". When i type the "..ifup..." the result is smthing like this: "No DHCPOFFERS received. No Working leases in persistent database - sleeping"Comment

Re: HELP!!!
I think you should try knetwork manager. Follow this thread to install and run it:

Re: HELP!!!
ok, i tried to do the steps that where written there, but i ran into somthing: i don't know how to start the knetwork manager. please tell me the exact steps how to do that, cause i'm a complete rookie in linux in general, only worked in win...
PS: is there any way to install application packages from a cd that were previously downloaded from the net in kubuntu? how can i donwload them from the kubuntu server?Comment

Re: HELP!!!
If knetworkmanager is installed on your system, then it will be found in the K menu/Internet section. Click there to start it.
To install .deb packages, use the command:
from within the folder where the package is located.Code:sudo dpkg -i [name of .deb package]

Re: HELP!!!

Re: HELP!!!
Your problem is that you can't get on the internet under linux, so you can't download/install any programs from the repositories.
The only possibility is to download the package from here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/d...i386&type=main
(Use on the locations that start with the word "ubuntu"...many of the mirrors don't have the package).
That will download a package ending in .deb. Copy that file on to your linux system and in the directory you copy it to, run the command:
When that finishes, you should have knetworkmanager installed.Code:sudo dpkg -i [whole name of the .deb file]

Re: HELP!!!
Well, what do you know... I'm having the same problem.Originally posted by yo5bdm
The weird thing is that in Kubunutu 5.10 my connection worked fine (as it did for him), in fact, without any need to twitch anything - it still do, I'm running LiveDVD 5.10 now.
What changed for Dapper?
I have the same chipset (Realtek 8139), I have a cablemodem (that very popular Moto device) and DHCP. No router.
The modules loaded in Dapper are the same as in Breezy (just checked): 8139too and 8139cp, so no difference there.
ONE THING I NOTICED: I have another ethernet card (VIA Rhine) that DOESN'T WORK because it got burned in a storm - lucky me, damage could have been way worse! -, but Dapper DOES still display THAT connection as ENABLED by default (weird). Breezy, on the other hand, does not enable it by default, nor does it allow me to enable it (it disables it right away).
This last thing made me think that perhaps the problem does not lie on driver issues, but is more detection-related - on the other hand... what do I know?? Hahaha...
OK, thanks in advance, guys!
Would love some help.
See ya!
PS: Will post info about kernel and ifconfig and later on.Comment

Re: HELP!!!
I'm using kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64 (generic)
The /etc/network/interfaces file contains:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
And the ifconfig command's output is:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0E:2E:7F:E7:5D
inet addr:190.1.31.94 Bcast:190.1.31.255 Mask:255.255.254.0

The bold interface (eth0) is the one in question, eth1 is the one for the "dead" card.
Once again, thanks!
If you need any extra info, no problem!
Ciao!
PS: I'll compare to Breezy outputs and see if changing the interfaces file can do something.

Re: HELP!!!
OK, tried different things but nothing worked.
I'll wait a week or so for a "miracle" reply - or any reply for that matter - and downgrade to Breezy then. No point in having Linux without internet. Well, actually, there is, but if I can have internet, I rather choose that.
Thanks anyways for your help.Comment
