Boss,
ping your gateway and then
do a
arp -a
and check if u have your routers MAC address. If you do, then we know that connectivity is OK on the LAN. next check that ur not filtering traffic. Maybe a firewall or some other such application.
u may want to shut down iptables and/or any other firewall security app that could be filtering this.
Also check that u can resolve addresses using ur current DNSes.

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.

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. Allan Ouma P.O.
