[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu can not connect to internet

[Michael Schemer Ii]

leegold:

In Windows XP:
Click on Start -> Run and type in cmd. Hit enter. That should result  
in a command prompt. Provide the output of the following command:

C:\> ipconfig

You should see an entry like:

Ethernet  adapter Local Area Connection 1:

	Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : cfl.rr.com
         IP Address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.1.198
         Subnet Mask . . . . . . .  .  . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
         Default Gateway . ..  . . . . . . .  . . . . .:


In Xubuntu:
 From a terminal, output the results of the command

$ ifconfig

You should have an entry like:

eth0	Link encap:Ethernet   HWaddr 00:0c:29:1e:e5:9a
                 inet addr:10.0.1.197


If, in Xubuntu you have no eth0 or en0 or other entry than lo, try the  
following:

$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
$ sudo dhclient eth0

Run ifconfig again and see if you have an address.

By default, though, you should have the network monitor applet in your  
top right bar, next to the systray area. It will look like two  
computers, one in front of the other. There should be an auto  
configuration for eth0.
