[hblug] re Ethernet on ubuntu

[Rene Bartosh]

First, type lspci into the command line and check that it list your
ethernet card. Then try dmesg|grep eth to see if there are any boot
messages.

Post the results back.

Next, type sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and check that it says
the following:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

If not, change it to match.

Then type sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

You should have network access, typing ifconfig should show you that
you have an IP address etc. You do not need to use PPPoA or PPPoE or
anything, the router just uses standard TCP/IP routing.

Hope that helps, and in the future please post to the list rather than
directly to me,

Regards,

Rene
