I am a novice at all things Linux related so forgive me if I am missing something obvious.
I installed 10.04 yesterday. The computer had an MS OS on it but I chose to format the entire HD for Ubuntu. The install seemed to go fine. When logged in there were updates available, and I installed all of them. After a reboot I tried getting on the internet and found that my network was 'disconnected'. I've checked the cabling, and that the LAN is still enabled in the BIOS. I assume the network had to have been functioning to do the original update. How do I figure out what changed.
I've been reading the network section of a Linux book and came up with a little data that might help. My hardware is listed after the host file.
