Ubuntu
gnome-nettool package

NO connection with HP laptop

Asked by nicole

I recently installed Ubuntu to my HP laptop and I have no internet connection. I am learning as I go and I am not the greatest at technical computer issues. I have an HP G60, at least that is what it says on the computer. Intel celeron model number G60-519WM. I have tried several options through the help section but I am getting no where when I go to terminal I am getting a reading that says disabled and power is off for the wireless router but my router is on. My internet connection symbol on the screen has a red exclamation point through it
Please help!!!!

How are you connecting -- are you connecting via wireless or by a wire?

Either way, for now it would be good to do a query for the devices your system uses, can you open a terminal, using either Ctrl+Alt+T, or by selecting it from the applications menu, then enter in the following commands, and cut and paste the results back here. Note that you can just cut and paste the commands into the terminal window.

cat /etc/lsb-release
uname -a
ifconfig -a
lspci
