Network connection lost. Windows brings it back.

[rbrown3rd]

Rather than extend a very old thread here, http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3089895.0 , I am opening a new one. I am running a dual boot machine with WinXP and Hardy 8.04 with all updates on both OS'es. I use Kubuntu 99 percent of the time but then I will get a cluster of boot ups where I can get no connection to the internet. Attempting to use the network manager to mannually configure does no good. What seems to happen is the gateway, 192.168.1.1 , setting is lost. The strange thing is that a single boot up into WinXP followed by a boot into Kubuntu usually fixes it. Then it will work for a while until another cluster of non connects will occur.

I am very challenged when it comes to networking issues. Any ideas?

Re: Network connection lost. Windows brings it back.

Hi,

NetworkManager isn't 100% reliable IMHO, so I thing the best way to get connection all the time is to set it up manually through /etc/network/interfaces.... for instance:

allow-hotplug eth1

iface eth1 inet dhcp

for network interface eth1. I never had any problem with that.

This is what I have in there now:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
gateway 192.168.1.1
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

Could you suggest what my interfaces file should look like? I no nothing about networking at all. Should the file contain just your suggestion with eth0 instead of eth1?
