It was time to retire the Lenovo G430 that had run happily with 10.04/10.10/11.04. Out with old, in with the new: Lenovo G480. It's loaded with Windows 7. Nuked Windows 7 and installed 11.04 via a cd. Everything hunky dory, except unable to fire up dsl on ubuntu.
I came here two weeks ago, to no avail. Since when I have installed Windows 7, which does give me DSL. But having now installed as dual boot 12.04, I am still unable to go wired/dsl.
I have been all over the forums. And made a beginning thanks to the sticky on Absolute Begiiners Page: "Linux Command Line Learning Resources". But still not found a solution.
Can someone help me, please.
For starters:
ifconfig
jem@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig

That's it, that's all.

Are there any clues there? Is there something else you need to sort out the problem?
You see, I am sure this is solvable. But not by me alone. I am hoping someone out there may help! I have really grown to love ubuntu. I really don't want to have to continue dual booting and choosing Windowz. Cheers!
