    internet problem

    First up - Hello to everybody
    I'm new to Kubuntu and encountered a problem.

    Yesterday I had to change my ethernet adapter because the other one broke. So I changed it, put all the settings in KNetwork Manager (IP, gate, dns...) and it just doesnt' want to start. So I don't have internet in Kubuntu. I tried to do the same in Windows - entered all my settings and it's all well. But I need the internet in Kubuntu not in Windows so... Any help would be appriciated

    Have you checked the log? Try to connect again and use: dmesg | tail, or check /etc/var/log and post it please.

      The tray icon shows that I'm connected. The adapter is "active", all my settings are good and yet when I try to open a web page I can't

      Is there a way to "format" all my network settings and logs... and do them again in fresh?

        The log does not tell us that something is going wrong with the hardware.
        You aren't using DHCP? Is a static IP address?

        Try the following:

        Go to the Kde menu then click on "System Settings", and then "Network Settings".
        Once there click the "Domain Name System" tab and click in the bottom right button "Administrator Mode..."
        Put the following DNS ip addresses on the top and click apply:
        208.67.222.222
        208.67.220.220

        Wait until network is reloaded and try to open a page, and post the result of this again.

            Have you checked if it recognized? Try lspci. You should your card somewhere between the messages
            Have you checked if your ethernet connection is actually up? Try sudo ifconfig. Assuming you connect through eth0 you should see some output regarding eth0
