I use a workstation.
because it said I have a network manger I went and looked around for in and came up with this
Does this just need to be re-configured ?

Somehow you have to learn to be resourceful yourself.
I made a typo and you blindly followed. Before what's next; is: I looked myself land found the file and it isSo while I mistyped it and that is a mistake. You need to be just a little self sufficient, don't you think?Code:/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
You gave me the file listing in post #7.

Sorry I do tend to blindly follow instruction.
desktop:~$ sudo cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
# This file is installed into /etc/NetworkManager, and is loaded by

Okay. We got to where we need to be.
It appears that the wired network is NOT managed by Network Manager. This means we can use the /etc/network/interfaces file for configuration.
In looking again at the info you supplied, we have this for the interfaces (eth0 and lo)And we have this for the contents of the /etc/network/interfaces fileCode:-desktop:~$ sudo ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:80:5c:7d:93 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:23 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:88 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:88 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:6560 (6.5 KB) TX bytes:6560 (6.5 KB)If you want to use DHCP to supply the IP addressing then you can the following to the bottom of the /etc/network/interfaces fileCode:ldesktop:~$ sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopbackWhat does it mean? The first line says "start the interface eth0 automatically upon bootup. The second line says "ask the dhcp server for the Ip addressing parameters.Code:auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
To edit the /etc/network/interfaces file you must be the user root. So to edit this file you need to open the file as root by using the following from the CLIWith the file open you can add the 2 lines of code and the save the file. Use the cat command to view your work (cat /etc/network/interfaces). If this looks good you can reboot the system and see what happens. You can see the configuration with thisCode:gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfacesPost the output here for us to see.Code:ifconfig -a

Many thanks to all and especially to bab1 for his patience
I apologize for my short answers but I'm not a man of many words.
