Connecting to Ethernet network

[hirochihachi]

The Network Interface says it's enabled, and KInfo Center gives us three large checks and says the network is running, but we cannot find any servers whatsoever. >_>

Yes, everything's plugged in. The network card gives us the green lights. And before we plugged it in here (new computer for us, we just bought it from a second-hand store), it was connected via Ethernet directly to a modem, whereas now it's to the router.

Should we be making some changes? If so, which? =/

Re: Connecting to Ethernet network


Can you provide more specific information?

What do the tabs under System Settings->Network Settings show?

Can you post the output of the commands 'ifconfig' and 'route'?

Re: Connecting to Ethernet network

Turns out my brother in law works a lot with kubuntu and the like. He's going to fix it, and connect it.

I'll be watching him like a hawk and posting the solutions here for anyone who has the same/similar problem.

It WAS the communication between the router and the computer, something set so that the computer could see the router, but not browse the internet. I messed it up even further than that. =/ So. Whatever he does to fix it, I'll post here.

All my brother in law did was a hard reset of the router (changing back to default settings) and it worked. -_- I feel so dumb. ;_;
