My questions

[Phillip Tarrant]

if you wanted to you could also dump the network manager and simply edit the
following files in your terminal

*these are semi-advanced* you don't HAVE to do these, but if you don't want
the network manager you can follow the following.

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
you should see a line similar to the following (if you don't it goes at the
end of the file)

eth0 auto
iface eth0 inet DHCP

(optionally that could be static instead of DHCP and you could use these
lines)
eth0 auto
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100 (or whatever)
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254 (or whatever)
broadcast 192.168.1.255


then you can try these settings by doing

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

see if you can ping google.com (since your already in term)
if so you got internet :)

i got rid of the network manager awhile back due to it causing issues with
my system (those should be fixed in jaunty)

best of luck to you!
