My internet connection shut down for a little while. As I was trying to reconnect, auto eth0 went missing and i cant no longer connect to the internet, how can i get auto eth0 back up on ubuntu without reinstalling. btw, im using another computer to post this.

You could probably rebuild it... Have you restarted the machine since the incident? A few (jaunty-era) threads suggested that Auto eth0 kept regenerating itself (much to their chagrin).
Might check ifconfig -a and/or lshw -C network to verify the interface is still active.

i got it back, fortuntely for me I kept the installation disc and wrote down the MAC code. Put it into Wired Connection 1, all set. :)
