Ubuntu
gnome-nettool package

Just installed Ubuntu, Wired internet not working.

Asked by Aubrey Fordham

I have tried going through old questions, but I couldn't find a solution that I understood.

However, I did notice that this can be helpful information.
output of sudo lshw -c network:

are the lights around where the wire hits flashing?

Yes, on both the router and the machine.

have you tried a different port?

Aubrey Fordham (aubreyjake) said : 		#4

I only have one ethernet port on the computer in question.

no, on the router. Try a different port there

That didn't work. I got a message shortly afterward saying Wired network: disconnected, you are now offline.

ok and did you get a message saying online when you reconnected?

if you run:

sudo dhclient3 eth0

do you get an IP?

if you set an IP suitable for your LAN can you ping the router?

It never connected, it only attempted to connect.

I ran sudo dhclient3 eth0 and did not get an ip.

I was also unable to ping my router.

I have no idea what I did, or what happened, but it's working now.

Thanks for your time and help.
