wired says connected but can't connect to the internet

Before we go any further....what is your IPv6 Settings set to for Method?

[SummerT]

This is what I have
Ipv6 ignore
ipv4 connect automatically manual
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 0.0.0.0.
require ipv addressing for this to complete is not clicked
dns server is blank
search domain is blank
dhcpclient id is kind of greyed out
box that says "available to all users" is unclicked
in the wired section there is no mac address
nothing in the cloned mac address
the mtu says 1

Perhaps this link will help you as this is someone who had the same NIC card as you....

[daslinkard]

What's the output of

nm-tool

Also, I'm wondering if you might be able to just replace the NIC card on the PC? Should be able to find one pretty cheap and see if that fixes the issue for you.

Have you tried rebooting your machines in between changes?

[SummerT]

It says network manager tool

Also, probably not going to be able to get a new card as the computer is pretty old anyway

[daslinkard]

There must be a work around.....as it's showing that it is connected....have you went into your BIOS system when your PC originally tries to load and made sure it is Wake on Lan? Also, what is the model number of the PC?

[SummerT]

It's an old computer. I'm actually in another room (on a computer hooked to the net) on the phone with my partner in a different room with the computer that is the problem. The computer is an old system. Where would we find that in the Bios? Don't see it.
Is it supposed to say "wake" or "lan" in a particular area?

[SummerT]

Okay. We went through all the bios lines and nothing that says wake or lan except
something that says remote wake up

[SummerT]

okay i was following along on that thread (in the link provided)
I ran the sudo /sbin /ifconfig eth0 up.
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

then a file came up.

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

then we typed in autoeth0 iface eth1 inet dhcp and then hit "save".

sudo sbin ifconfig eth0down
then sudo sbin iconfig eth0up

rebooted and now it says connection not managed.
