My network card didn't work correctly with 7.04

Asked by borneo

Hello,
i have interesting problem with my network card: Realtek RTL 8139/810x, i install on my hdd Xubuntu 7.04 but my network card didn't work. The led of card didn't flash. When i install kubuntu 7.04 or ubuntu 7.04 there isn't any problems, i created network connection to my router and works fine, but when install Xubuntu a problem shows. In System-Network there is wired connection, but i can't save configuration and i can't see any option to enable/disable NIC card, when in terminal i write ifconfig there is some strange IP like 169.*** and so on, but even my router didn't recognize connection. So, any one could help?

I assume you have problems with the gui - network configuration. Try to do it manually:

1) Open /etc/network/interfaces (as root): sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
2) Let it look like this:

iface lo inet loopback
auto lo

iface eth0 inet static
     address 192.168.1.45
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     gateway 192.168.1.1

auto eth0

3) Save it and enter:

Change "eth0" to the name of your ethernet card (cou can look it up via ifconfig) and the ip addresses to whatever you need to. You can swich your interface on and off by adding/removing the line "auto eth0". If you need additional help with this file, you can get it via "man interfaces".

Good luck!

hi,
sorry for my late response, but i have work to do, so i make something very stupid but it works, i've just change a pci slots for my nic card and now she works fine, but when i've tried to use your help, i have some trouble, because in terminal, when run commands first i had to install gedit and when following help commands, there is error finding this package.. i have some other trouble but i will first try faq or man, but this problems starts only with Xubuntu 7.04.... this is strange

Hi,

oh, you didn't have to use gedit, any other editor would have done the job :-D
Try using "mousepad", "vim", "nano", "emacs" or any other editor - just make shure you call it with "sudo", like "sudo mousepad" etc.

Good luck,
Thomas
