Wired connection not working

[jacoblyles]

I spent some time trying to get my WUSB54G wireless USB adapter to work with encryption in Ubuntu. I finally gave up and decided to run a wire to the router, but now my wired network connection does not work either. I am not sure which steps I followed, but I know I installed a few kernel modules.

I know the hardware is good because I am dual booting into Windows XP and everything works fine.

Can anybody help? Being without my Ubuntu half is very frustrating. Thanks.

Go into your 'System -> Administration -> Network' settings and see if 'Roaming mode' is enabled. If it is, see if disabling that helps (but be sure to leave it set to DHCP if that's how your router is set)...

Tried roaming and DHCP, neither works.

Can you ping your router? Try setup a static IP and try.

Can you post more information about your network? Boot into Windows, then click Start-Run and give the command cmd, press enter, then give the command ipconfig /all and post back whatever it spits out.

Using this information, someone can easily guide you to setup the connection in Ubuntu.

Sorry, I don't know how to do this.

I found out that I get an IP address in Ubuntu when I type "lshw -C network" at a terminal prompt, 198.162.1.107 I believe. However, I still get an "address not found" error every time I open up a browser and try to find a webpage. Can anyone help?

Fine, now, assuming your ethernet interface in ubuntu is eth0; post the output of the following commandssudo mii-tool eth0
sudo dhclient eth0
ping 192.168.1.1
ping www.google.com
ifconfig eth0


If you get no errors, try using Internet, otherwise please post back all the above output.

Remember to replace eth0 with the actual name of your interface; give the command ifconfig to list all interfaces, and then choose that which seems most obvious (_not_ lo, usually eth0)
