"Interface not configured"

Asked by clombard

Re-installed Ubuntu 8.04. First: can not see my home network machines nor can my home network machines see me (using Konqueror/Samba): Second: when I run ifdown and ifup with my home network name(WLAN-9382)
I get the message "Interface not configured" and "Unknown interface"
I have configured this wireless network over and over. I am able to connect to the Internet but NOT to my own home network...Why...?

The ifuo & ifdown command errors are not important I think. Have you configured samba? Try restarting networking with:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

---and try killing NetworkManager and run it again:

sudo killall /usr/sbin/NetworkManager

sudo /usr/sbin/NetworkManager

If you want to learn about samba configuration look: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
