    No network - Eth0

    Hello.

    The last few days, my PC is SLOW to load up - no network.
    When i do manage to log in, & do ifconfig - i get No 'eth0' settings.

    I've googled & found these command-line things to add, & then i can log in to Google / modem.

    Code:
    sudo ifconfig eth0 down
    [sudo] password for gordon: 
    gordon@gordon-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo dhclient -r eth0
    Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
    utility, e.g. service smbd reload
    
    Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
    Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
    gordon@gordon-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
    gordon@gordon-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo dhclient eth0
    Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
    utility, e.g. service smbd reload

    Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd
    gordon@gordon-System-Product-Name:~$
    Ive googled, & see that 'service smbd reload' relates to the SAMBA server. (I've got Apache as my website server - not Samba)..

    Please post the entire contents of your /etc/networking/interfaces file. (Remember to use CODE tags).

    Do you use Network Manager?

    Did anything else occur at the same time as slow-network? Updates? reboot? changed hardware?

    Are you sure the problem is your Ubuntu system and not the upstream router or connection? How did you check?

    iface lo inet loopback
