No Connection

[Maxime Alarie]

I sometimes have this problem at home  with my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad
T61P). Running on Ubuntu 9.1 (8.04 before)

 

If you go in a shell and type: sudo dhclient3  eth0  do you see any
error messages for your interface? You can try dhclient3  with no
specified interface,  it will try to get an ip with all network cards
(in my case its wlan0 for my wireless card)

 

I never really fixed my problem.. I usually  unplug and replug  my
router and it works after. So if you fix it, please let us know J

 

Regards,

Silly question, but you see the same behaviour on several versions

(Karmic, Lucid and Jaunty), both live and installed.

 

Can your other computers get out to the internet?  Are you sure your

router/cable modem/network infrastructure is working?

 

Have you tried resetting your gateway (dsl router or cable modem)?

 

Just the basics there... if this were only happening on the Lucid

installation, I'd suspect you'd broken something, but since you say

you also booted the Live images for both Karmic and Jaunty (which will

NOT be affected to whatever changes you made to your Lucid install),

you need to look elsewhere for starters... (be it the hardware, cables

unplugged, router gone nuts, cable company cut a line, whatever).

 

How about this, foregoing any mucking with network settings, can you

plug this failing machine directly into your DSL router or cable modem

(means disconnecting the rest of your lan) and then boot the LIVE

image for any of those, get an address from your router or cable

modem, and surf the internet?

 

That would probably be my first step, after checking cables and such,

given what you've described.
