17.04

[Parker, David]

16.10 took out my wired connection.  Others experienced the same failure, wired connection inop, wifi operating.In my case, installing 17.04 restored my wired connection.

ifconfig is one word, right?

To confirm, go to a command line and enter: ping 8.8.8.8 either you'll get pings from Google (that's one of their addresses) or you'll get timeouts.  If it times out, then the problem is most likely with the eth0 or wlan0 or whatever NIC you're using. If the pings return good, then try ping www.google.ca.  If it says it doesn't know the address then the problem is name resolution. If everything fails, then send us (you may be in for some typing), the results of: ip link show and ifconfig

Raymond,  this is just a wild shot in the dark here, but it's possible that network manager isn't started.  Try this from a command line: sudo service network-manager start or: sudo service network-manager restart

I had open suse on a flash drive and it worked ok.Is there a problem with 17.04? I still can't open the browser, it says it can't find the server for start Ubuntu.I am at a loss at what I can do next.
