No network on 12.04 install

[Leslie Anne Chatterton]

After you have assigned a fixed IP address to your network interface then
ping 127.0.0.1 or "ping localhost" - same thing. This will be the lowest
level test of your networking configuration.

If it returns a local ping then try the IP's of other computers on your
local network. If that works try pinging some websites by name. Try "ping
google.com". Many busy websites block ping return as a security measure but
Google doesn't seem to at least on this Android Tablet.

Not getting an IP via DHCP doesn't mean anything but there might be a
software fault. First, does it work at all? Assign it an IP address by
hand and then try pinging around.

Also you can do this:
hakan at jupiter:17:26:30:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

More than once, esp. on my cloned VMs, Ubuntu decides to add a 2nd
card and then forgets all about it.
