I can't connect to a wired connection

Hi, i usually get asked to open a terminal console and type in "ifconfig" ( on Windows machines that'd be ipconfig) and copy the info into here.

So, go up to the Applications menu on the top taskbar, down to Accessories and choose terminal. Into the Terminal/command window/console type

ifconfig

and copy & paste the info here.

Good luck with this
Regards from
Tom

This is what I got, but it is funny because I just have one port for cable conection, so why are there 2 ethernets?

Thanks a lot Tom I just that.

you have two different MAC addresses, you must have two network adaptors? take a look with the terminal command:

lshw -C network

also it looks like eth1 is getting an ip address. lets see if it can communicate with the router with the command:

ping -c 6 192.168.1.1

I tried the

lshw -C network

command in a terminal console on my machine and got shed-loads of information. It wasnt happy about e running it without sudoing it. I guess we're more interested in the results of the ping command for Maria's machine so please open a terminal window (same way as before) and type in

sudo lshw -C network

the password it might ask for is your user password rather than a Root/SuperUser password. Hmm, i guess we do want the output, particularly for the eth1 device. Then in the terminal window/console type or paste in

ping -c 6 192.168.1.1

and give it a few minutes to try and find something it can get a response. I'd say 5mins is about as long as i would wait, ie enough time to grab a cuppa ;)

Good luck with this

This is what I got when I put into the terminal the command you sent me.

And when I run the other command $ ping -c 6 192.168.1.1 I got this.

Thanks Tom, that solved my question.

Re-posting a new question seems to work well.

Good luck and regards from
