Is it possible to manually activate an eth0 connection? - Partially SOLVED!

Dear Everybody

Thanks for this feedback, Jonas:

This feedback proved to be very useful. At the desktop PC, I carried
out the test 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'. It worked out like this:

bas at Viaconsensus1:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain lokaal
search lokaal
nameserver 192.168.1.254

Via kdesudo kate I manually inserted the last three lines in the
resolv.conf file at the laptop. This proved to be sufficient to
establish the connection here. Right now, the laptop is downloading
and installing a whole bunch of Kubuntu/ Ubuntu Intrepid updates.
The question remains though, how to configure the settings in such a
way that I can smoothly connect the laptop also anywhere else - via a
ethernetmodem (eth0) or wireles (pan0).

Respectfully Yours,

Bas.
