router

[PhDP]

Simple config;

I have a router with 3 computers connected to it;

- A standard Laptop with WINXp

- The computer I'm using right now (WINXp)

- I'm trying to use my Ubuntu laptop, but to no avail. It seems to see the wired connection, but it just don't want to access internet.

With your laptop connected to the router, type ifconfig in the terminal and then post the output here.

go to system->administration->network and choose either eth0 or eth1 properties( whichever is connected to the router) and change it from roaming mode to DHCP mode and then post ifconfig output

[PhDP]

Sorry but I have no idea what you mean by "choose either eth0 or eth1 properties", I chose the icon for wired connections, then DHCP mode, and the ifconfig is;

[jimv]

It's pulling down an IPv6 address on eth0...anyone have any ideas on that?

[PhDP]

It's surprising that I get such a strange error, the first thing I tried to do with my laptop, a standard XPS M1330 laptop with Ubuntu 7.10, was to make the internet work.

Nothing was installed and my internet connection work very well...

[fwre01]

can you paste the output from the command "cat /etc/network/interfaces"?

[PhDP]

What do you mean, I'm supposed to type that in the terminal ?

If yes; I got;

bash: cat/etc/network/interfaces: No such file or directory

[fwre01]

yes, sorry, in a terminal

there is a space after the word cat
