I have a 2Wire DSL connection and my wife is on a hpna connector through the phone line and my Ubuntu unit is connected to the modem through the only RJ-46 connector and my windows/Kubuntu unit is connected via the USB connection. My problem is that I am not hooked up to the network on the kubuntu through the USB. If I boot in the XP it all works beautifully. #What must I do to solve my problem and use the Kubuntu via the USB connection or is it even possible?

Re: USB DSL Connection
Okay. Good. You have a single ethernet controller, identified as eth0. The other, lo, is the Local loopback (normal and required).
Let's see what your interfaces file looks like. In the console type:
Copy/paste the output.Code:cat /etc/network/interfaces

Re: USB DSL Connection
Okay, a 'normal' looking interfaces file. We may need to add to it, but not yet.
We need to see if your network interface is 'active'.
K Menu | System Settings | Network Settings | Network Connections | Network Interfaces tab
Do you see your eth0 listed (it should be the only one present). If it's there, is it listed as Enabled Ethernet Network Device. If it is not, you need to enable it by clicking on the Administrator Mode button, entering your password, and then clicking on the eth0 entry and clicking the Enable Interface button.

Everything checked and the eth0 is enabled.Comment

Re: USB DSL Connection
Good. I'd assume, but better to ask, does the interface show an IP address and a protocol?Windows no longer obstructs my view.
