Hey. First time posting and very confused. My old PC had a motherboard problem, so I placed my hard drive into another similar model desktop PC. However I started having trouble connecting to the internet. Kept coming up that the connection was active but dns server not found (or firefox not found... something like that). Thought it might be RAM problems or old ubuntu issues, so we reinstalled with an ubuntu disk the 11.10 version - wiping the hard drive.
I started coming up with a series of different types of errors. Ranging from "failed to fetch...something wicked happened resolving... no address associated with host name" to "squash error unable to read fragment cashe entry unable to read page…. Page block 24b1475, ae2d" to "Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is depreciated because it may not enable some interfaces. Reconfiguring network interfaces" (different codes coming up as my partner is trying to enter code to figure out what the problem is.)
We need help to connect to the internet and also find out if there is something wrong or missing from our computer. We are connected manually. But we really want it to come up automatically as: Automatic dhcp.
We used the ipv4 and put the ip address in and submask in, clicked “ignored”, it says eth0, says driver 3c59x.
We did an iconfig and this is what came up (some of the numbers were changed slightly for privacy).
Please help. Thanks to all.
