help needed for Ubuntu 8.04 on HP 6720s notebook

[Abhishek Bawkar]

Hi James,

<snip>
Are you sure your ISP doesn't have DHCP? Do you connect to the Internet
through a modem?
</snip>
I am 100% sure that my ISP does not have DHCP. I use the same connection
and the notebook on windows, there I have set everything manually and that
connection works fine, I am able to do everything on windows. But, when I
boot my machine in Ubuntu, it's not woring... :(

<snip>
can you post the output of
cat /etc/network/interfaces

also attach the file created in your home directory by:
sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log
</snip>
Right now I am at office. Will try your suggestions and answer your
questions in the evening once I reach home (I am from India).

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

regards,

abhishek
