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. Box 12731 Nairobi 00400 Kenya

Is the problem the network interface or internet settings? That would be a good place to start On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 12:59 PM, Allan Ouma <aouma@ymail.com> wrote:

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. Allan Ouma P.O. Box 12731 Nairobi 00400 Kenya

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. On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 1:13 PM, Allan Ouma <aouma@ymail.com> wrote:

Until the LAN connectivity is sorted, don't even think beyond. Sort out the LAN first. Can u confirm connectivity at layer 2. (MAC address) if this is OK, then obviously there is filtering in ur network. Is the problem affecting only u? On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 4:55 PM, miano skunks <miano.skunkworks@gmail.com>wrote:

dump your udev rules like Allan says, lspci and ifconfig -a and or ip addr, resolv.conf, route -n and /etc/network/interface. Maybe I can help from there. Ubuntu handles networking very strangely, you either let network mgr do its thing or disable it and configure it manually, not both. On 5/22/12, maina <dmaishe@gmail.com> wrote:

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.

Is the problem the network interface or internet settings?
That would be a good place to start

Any help towards solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.

pardon me Allan, i hadn't realised you are the one asking for help. The udev rules are mostly a problem with VMs, rarely dual booting On 5/23/12, Kahugu Isaac <ikahugu@gmail.com> wrote:
dump your udev rules like Allan says, lspci and ifconfig -a and or ip addr, resolv.conf, route -n and /etc/network/interface. Maybe I can help from there. Ubuntu handles networking very strangely, you either let network mgr do its thing or disable it and configure it manually, not both.

Like i said check your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and you should be good to go. If you are not sure what to do with /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules kindly let us know. On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 6:28 AM, Kahugu Isaac <ikahugu@gmail.com> wrote:
