Hey, I am a newbie to linux and trying to get my new ubuntu box to connect to the internet. I have cable internet and have the ethernet from the cable box going to a five port switch, from there I plugged it into my linux box and a windows XP box which I am using now, the internet is working fine on it.
I have already tried taking the switch out and plugging the ubuntu box directly to the cable modem and it still didn't work, I tried running the ping program and it didn't return any packets so I don't think it is connecting. Any suggestions on my next step of troubleshooting? I am pretty novice when it comes to routing in general so any help would be welcomed.
