    Post Cant connect to wired network (ARGH!!!); 12.04

    I'm at a complete loss AND I have no idea what I'm doing.

    Box and network via ethernet was fine. Moved the box with a new ethernet connection. Network crapped out. Moved box back to original location -- wired network still disconnected.

    Ran a bunch of scripts (see below) -- nothing worked

    Edit connection -- ipv4 -- assigned manual connection, including ip address w/in the range of my router -- appears to connect to network, but cant load any pages; ping 8.8.8.8 = Destination host unreachable

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Thank you.


    Scripts run:

    _
    sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
    __
    sudo rmmod tg3
    sudo modprobe broadcom
    sudo modprobe tg3

    sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/tg3.conf
    __
    cat << EOF | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
    [main]
    plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

    [ifupdown]
    managed=true
    EOF
    Then reboot.
    __
    sudo rmmod tg3
    sudo modprobe broadcom
    sudo modprobe tg3
    __
    sudo route add default gw 121.165.98.1 eth0

    After you added the default gateway (whose IP you may wish to mask), what are the results of route -n?

    What if I just formated the drives, wiped everything, and reloaded the OS?

    Well, that's the 'ultimate solution' to everything

    But unless you have already done that, may we take a look at outputs of -
    Code:
    nm-tool
    cat /etc/network/interfaces
    cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
    cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
    Also, why did you need to manually create (recreate) the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file? And is there a particular reason why you put "managed=true" there?
    Usually it is "managed=false", although it shouldn't matter if NetworkManager is the only one controlling your network interface.

    Ultimately, I just copied and pasted every line of code others suggested who had similar problems (which is a PITA when I copy to a flash drive on one comp and then move it to my ubuntu box and paste). I don't have a specific understanding of why false to true.

    But, tx for the suggestion. I'll copy and paste that ASAP.

    Everything looks good above, although the "managed=true" should by default be "managed=false", but since your /etc/network/interfaces file is not managing the ethernet interface, it doesn't matter.

    Now can you ping your gateway?
    Code:
    ping -c4 192.168.1.1
    Also, make sure the IP is not conflicting with any other machines on the network. Just change it if not sure.

    And what do you mean when you say you moved it to a different location? Was it a different network or a different ethernet card or just a different location on the same network (connected to same router)?

    Sometimes, the firmware of the router/NIC just gets confused, sometimes there are other logical issues like DHCP pool getting full, or IP conflict, etc. In most of such cases, it is usually sufficient to just reboot both the computer and the router (better keep them power off for two or more minutes).

    If these don't help, please also post what praseodym asked above your post. The outputs of first three commands may be interesting.

    I moved it to another location on the same network. Same router (actually tried directly into the router via tested/good cat6 patch).

    Network says connected, but cant reach anything.

    Here are the results:

    ping -c4 192.168.1.1

    result:

    From 192.168.1.88 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
