lo is a loopback device and should NEVER be disabled.

eth0 is the first detected wired network device and can be brought up using:

$ ifup eth0

or down using:

$ ifdown eth0

Provide some details for us with your next reply by pasting the entire output of this command:

$ ifconfig

Good luck.

thanks jeruvy, it's working for now after I went into system>admin>network and disabled roaming mode and got it work manually using a fixed address. Then I couldn't get onto the internet. Now I switched it back to roaming mode and am still on the network for now.

I have a similar problem. I can connect using wireless but not my lan connection. I tried to copy the output from ifconfig but Ctrl C and Ctrl V do not work. As you can see, I'm a newbie. How do I post the output?
