    Internet Help

    I'm having a problem with connecting to the internet with Ubuntu Server.

    I tried pinging it, but it just hangs there.

    Is this a wired ethernet connection you have or a wireless connection? If it is a wired connection then have you properly configured your router/modem?

    What did you try to ping?

    Hard to find and obsolete PC and server parts. "If we can't find it, it probably doesn't exist"

    You will need to set up the DNS servers and the default gateway to get out to the internet. Is this machine configured via DHCP or does it have a static IP address?

    The machine is configured via DHCP, so what do I need to do to set up the DNA servers and the default gateway?

    sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces

    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo eth0
    iface lo inet loopback

    # The primary network interface
    iface eth0 inet dhcp

    Hope this helps.....
