    That is a smexy fedora sir...

    Yeah but did you try bringing up br0 yet, because that's the interface that is trying to get an IP right now. Not eth0 / wlan0 they are likely bridged to br0... It's kind of hard to explain but long story short fiddling with either of those two will be pointless until you fix the bridge.

    I'm all for restoring from backups in this case if you can't figure it out. THough you might be right it may be hardware.

    why thankyou, it brings out the professional in me LOL

    yeah br0 is likely the issue if software related.

    if all else fails restore your clone or backup or whatever you have, if not i charge cheap rates for support but you will have to include the flight, accomodation and wait on me hand and foot

    Re: virtualbox/vmware owns my LAN connection?

    smexy... I'm gonna try to work that word into a conversation today!

    haqking- that's what I did. I restored Windows last night to a point about a week ago, long before I started breaking stuff (well... that I know about LOL). So you're saying I won't see results unless I restore both sides?

    DT- yes I tried to bring up br0 by doing this
    Code:
    sudo ifconfig br0 down && sudo ifconfig br0 up
    then terminal told me
    Code:
    Ignoring unknown interface br0=br0
    Right now I'm searching for how one edits the config files, which is something I currently know nothing about. Is this the right direction?

    Well your original post said the problam occured today/yesterday after installing vmware and attempting an install of a OS, and Ubuntu being the host with the loopback issue ?

    So why restore windows and not the host with the issue ?

    or am i not understanding you ?

    also what is the output of your ifconfig then in terms of avialable interfaces ?

    So do you have virtual box installed on windows and vmware installed on Ubuntu and it is after installing vmware player that your system broke ?

    This is way too confusing for me, i would of done a complete system restore by now and if still an issue it is hardware but im guessing a loose screw somewhere between the system and the owner...LOL

    (MODS/ADMIN dont give me an infraction, MS Daisy can take it

    Re: virtualbox/vmware owns my LAN connection?

    Loose screws withstanding, I think you're misunderstanding. All of that is true except that Ubuntu networking is broken and so is Windows networking. That's what I find strange- how did vmware, which lived on the ubuntu partition, affect the windows partition?

    Synopsis:
    Dual boot Ubuntu 11.10 & Windows 7
    Ubuntu had vmware player & virtual box.
    Windows had virtual box.
    All was happy until one of the vms (metasploitable) in Ubuntu bridged by default.
    I have removed all virtualizing programs from both sides.
    I'm still stuck in loopback on Ubuntu & no network on Windows.
    I restored Windows, but virtual box still owns the network connection. Restore didn't fix the problem.

    Thus leading me towards a hardware problem.

    the output of ifconfig is

    It's not a hardware problem.

    Can you post the output of the following

    Code:
    lsmod | grep -i 'vboxdrv'
    Thanks

    There was no output. I ran that twice and I just got a new prompt both times.

    Hmm... Okay. In my opinion try reinstalling virtualbox, though I'm fairly certain it's actually VMware that hosed the config.

    i agree, i hate vmware, well the desktop stuff anyways, esx and gsx is good stuff.

    reinstall or a complete system restore if you have it, if you dont then tut tut and i will see you after class.
