Hi all,

I am trying to connect my laptop (thinkpad t420s series) to a switch using a wired network. It's just a switch that also has a windows computer hooked to it (the ubuntu laptop will be used as a sql server). My windows computer connects just fine but my ubuntu network keeps saying "disconnected from network" over and over again.

I connected my ubuntu laptop to a wired router and it worked just fine. Is there a specific setting for a wired network connection with no internet?

I'm using a trendnet 4port switch.

Thanks!
