Network problem

[goutam]

I just installed Kubuntu 8.10 but its network is not working. I have both lan and wireless connection. When I use windows, both of the networks work correctly and automatically. But in Kubuntu, I have to connected those manually but getting no response. The configuration of my network of windows is given below and this configuration I am using for Kubuntu.

IP: 192.168.15.30
subnet: 255.255.0.0
gateway: 192.168.2.1

DNS: 202.168.255.9

Did I do anything wrong? Please help me urgently in this regard. Thanks to all.

Re: Network problem

Knetwork manager does no support static ip.
So if you want to use it, you have to use a dhcp address.
Otherwise, you should try wicd, but to install it you need a temporary working internet connection (so you should have the possibility to connect via dhcp at least for the time required for the installation).

Re: Network problem

Thanks for your answer.

If I want to use a dhcp address without uninstalling knetwork manager, what should I do? Could you please let me know in details as I am a new user in Kubuntu? I do not want to use wicd because when I used Ubuntu, I found that it was not supported at Ubuntu 8.10 version.

Waiting for your reply.

Re: Network problem

Open a console and type in

sudo dhclient eth0

See if that helps.

To get my internet working, I edited /etc/network/interfaces :

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
provider dsl-provider

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

The bold part is what I changed. Can't remember what it was before.
