    No Internet connection, Ubuntu 10.04

    Hiya, all:

    I'm a relatively neophyte Linux user, and I've been running 64-bit LTS Ubuntu 10.04. After just moments ago fixing a failure to boot problem (thanks to oldfred and YannBuntu), I noticed that my wired Internet connection no longer works.

    How do I fix that?

    The task bar atop the desktop screen shows a connectivity icon with a red exclamation mark on it. Hovering over the icon indicates, “No network connection.” Left-clicking the icon shows a menu consisting of:

    Wired Network [non-clickable]
    disconnected [this is grayed out]
    VPN Connections [sub menu consisting of “Configure VPN...” and, “Disconnect VPN...” [grayed out]]

    Right-clicking this same taskbar icon shows a checkmark by “Enable Networking” and “Enable Notifications.” “Connection Information” is grayed out, and clicking on “Edit connections...” brings up a dialogue box for Network Connections. Under the Wired tab, under Name, I see, “Auto eth0,” and under Last Used, next to “Auto eth0,” I see, “never.”

    Not sure if that information is useful or not, but there it is. Any assistance on fixing this Internet connectivity issue will be greatly appreciated.

    Oh, and I just ran ...

    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
    ...which generated this:

    Code:
     *-network

    Thanks again for your insight.
