8.04 connection troubles

[hwttdz]

I just upgraded (reformatted and clean installed) 8.04. I now have 0 internet connection. I don't even know where to start with getting things going. I have tried dhcp, and choosing my own ip address (just typed in what I got from window's ipconfig) and whatever the other option there is (I'm typing from windows now so I can't look). In network tools it seems to be sending pings from eth0, at least the bytes sent increments when I ping something. I've entered the open dns servers as my dns servers (I deleted an empty dns server there). I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

are you getting an ip from your router? type ifconfig and check if you are getting an ip.. if possible post the results here

[hwttdz]

The results of ifconfig in ubuntu are:

Try blacklisting the IPv6 router by typing

sudo nautilas

Once nautilas opens go to etc/modprobe.d add this to the file

blacklist ipv6

In the same folder "etc" go the the aliases file and press [space] once next to IPv6 add this

disable=true

I installed 8.04 on my grandpas computer and he had a sis191 ehternet adapter this is how I got it to work. It wasn't using ipv4 on its own.

[viceroy]

After you do all that then take your connection down and back up with this

sudo ifdown eth0

sudo ifup eth0

and then do this

sudo dhclient eth0

don't forget to enable dhcp.

[hwttdz]

Do I enable DHCP in a place other than network manager?

[viceroy]

network manager is fine

[hwttdz]

Still no luck.

you don't happen to be using wireless do you?

[hwttdz]

Nope, when I post I'm posting from windows of a dual boot.
