so I have had problems setting up my Internet (this applies in 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04)
basically it will not set up networking properly, now I can do it manually, or so I think at least...
now, I set up everything (even the MAC address) everything looks good, but the internet will not work properly!
so I run the command 'ifconfig'
I get this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr **:**:**:**:**:**
inet addr:***.***.**.* Bcast:**.**.**.*** Mask:***.***.***.*
inet6 addr: ****::***:***:****:***/** Scope:Link

Now I put what I want to know in bold, which one of them should I use?
both say HWaddr (as far as I understand MAC address and hardware address is the same)
additional info, it connects no matter which one I choose :/
(I am asking these questions out of pure curiosity)
so can anyone explain this to me?
secondly (not so important since I managed to fix it :D)
My ISP is supposed to automatically assign DNS, but I have to do it manually to be able to connect :/ how does this come? I had to use googles (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)
**I changed everything non essential to "*'s" **
