It is not the NIC since it works perfectly on Windows, I can see the drivers for the device are installed and it even has and IP address in the Network Connections properties (it is on DHCP). The problem is that I cannot even ping my router yet it has even allocated itself and IP address within my LAN's range.

Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Ubuntu 12.04 wired connection problem

Is the problem the network interface or internet settings?

That would be a good place to start

I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Optiplex 755 desktop. The wired connection shows that it is connected but I cannot access the internet. I have tried removing the resolv.conf package and enable NetworkManager but it still refuses to work. I am now stressed since I need this connection to work for some project I am working on. 

Any help towards solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.
