[SOLVED] Can´t connect to the enthernet

[alexandro121]

well theres is a big story to tell about me my macbook pro and linux but i´ll ask my most important questions.

here they are:
i have fully erease the osx( ´cos i had some problems) but know mi wired and wireless connection doesn´t seem to be working, i have read some threads but cant find the answer because they dont explain how to configure the wired connection, can someone help me?

the problem is that i can´t start to configurate the other hardwares because the wired connection doesn´t work( well i think)

anybody?

You are connected and you have an IP adress !

Try to ping something :

ping google.com -c5
ping 72.14.207.99 -c5

[alexandro121]

NOP nothing, i had found out that yes i have connection but can´t download the actulization and can´t browser the web,

my results from the ping

alexandro@alexandro-laptop:~$ ping google.com -c5
ping: unknown host google.com
alexandro@alexandro-laptop:~$ ping 72.14.207.99 -c5
connect: Network is unreachable
alexandro@alexandro-laptop:~$

[cyberdork33]

From ifconfig :


You are connected and you have an IP adress !
That is a self-assigned IP address. (starts with 169). This occurs when the DHCP server does not give you an IP. From the output it looks as though your hardware works fine it is just the Server giving you problems.

Try running sudo dhclient in a terminal and see what messages you get. And PLEASE, post your output in codetags

[alexandro121]

well yes, im connected but why i can´t use firefox, synaptic, the chat program, evolution, etc... what is it then?

[cyberdork33]

well yes, im connected but why i can´t use firefox, synaptic, the chat program, evolution, etc... what is it then?
Because you do not have a valid IP, as stated. Please give requested output.

whatever device that acts as your dhcp server (router?) is not giving your machine an IP for some reason. I do not believe this is the fault of your installed system. This could be due to some sort of MAC address filtering on the router.

[alexandro121]

hey thanks for everything i had fix it, with your help, i change the router conf i delet a mac address in the bypass zone and now it works as hell yeah hahah thanks for all your hard work, and .... ok thats all ahah im really happy know thath i can use ubuntu in a 100%
