I have two PCs one has Windows XP the other has Ubuntu 9.10 on it, the Windows PC has no problems getting on the Internet (I'm posting this with it) and getting an IP address from the wired router. The wired router I have is ONLY wired it does not have wireless at all, it is currently setup to hand out IP addresses between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254.
The Ubunutu 9.10 PC worked great last night surfed all over the place for hours, then finally shut it down last night when I went to bed, shut down appeared to be normal like it always does when it shuts down, then this morning when I booted it up it gave error: "WIRED NETWORK - disconnected you are now offline".
Everything worked fine until I downloaded some Ubuntu upgrades. Now, every time I try to connect to internet via network manager it says: " Network: Disconnected - you are now offline". so what to do...

Network manager shows a simple networking disabled greyed out message. Both adapters work in live cd boot. Everything was working properly before; I'm not sure what happened.

Don't know what other information I should provide. I tried a few things from different posts like editing the dhcpclient.config but don't really know what I'm doing and none of these worked anyways. I'm not even sure if they were solutions to a similar problem! I'm using the same connection on my Mac OS 10.4.11 (different machine) and I have no problems. Could I use these same settiings in Ubuntu? I don't know what the different fields represent or what I should input in manual settings.
I tried to burn with k3b but after a while the fateful message "cdrecord has no permission to write to the device. " Then I launched k3bsetup and I selected the burning group. Did not exist. I created it and now i'm included in it. Then I checked all the boxes for the write permissions of the programs used by k3b and the writer. Now it works. But after reboot, the box of the burner device is not checked. So I have to select it each time. Boring. DO you know how to save the setting permanently

I'm having problems installing the drivers after doing an install using WUBI.I no longer have the installation disc for 10.10 as I had to reformat my HD after having problems with my Win7 and Ubuntu installation (on separate partitions), so I did this set up so they can co-exist better on the single HD. It's a bit of a long story, so that's the short version.My particular problem is that I am unable to install the drivers needed because I had let WUBI download the disc and after installation I couldn't locate it on my HD. It must have been removed right after installation. I have a copy of the contents on a bootable USB, but I don't know how to point the system/repository to it. So I'm sure I have the all the required materials to make this happen. I just don't know how.
I've located the driver in the media/usb/pool/restricted/ folder, but synaptic/software installer insists on downloading the dependencies even if I don't have internet. I checked the CDROM option of in the repositories panel, but it can't locate the disc.Can anyone tell me which dependency files are needed and the command to install them, if need be. I'm so sorry. I am still very new to linux, but I am quite satisfied about using it as my working environment.
A brief description of my network:It is a small home network consisting of an Ubuntu 10.04LTS server edition, an Iomega ix2 NAS, a WinXP pro server and several family laptops.This is all routed through a Netgear WNDR3300 home router. All are assigned IP's via DHCP and all but the laptops are static (via DHCP though). The WAN address/DNS is assigned via DHCP from my ISP.The problem:When one of the machines is offline, Ubuntu does not resolve the netbios name correctly. No surprise here. But what is happening is that it is finding some arbitrary machine on another network. Below is what a ping to an offline host reveals:
Code:
ping -c3 hostname
PING hostname (204.232.162.92) 56(84) bytes of data.

I have been using ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my Dell Mini 9 for the past few month without any problem; it connects wirelessly to the internet via a wireless router. Yesterday in the middle of web surfing, suddently firefox cannot see any website outside of my home network (Firefox displays Server not found page). No help when I rebooted a few times and connect to my home network via wireless or even wire cable; it can access files in my network file server (DNS-321) but not the internet. My desktop computer running Windows Vista and ASUS media player has no problem accessing the internet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my Linux box, (which is a proxy, webserver, mailserver, etc. etc. etc.) I use static IP's. Network manager is turned off, but when you do that Firefox ALWAYS has WORK OFFLINE checked. I could use Network Manager but that's not really the right way, cause I need the servers to work in level 3, etc. as well...Anyways, anyone know a way to make FF behave if I use Static IP without NM?

something that may be useful to know is that i originally plugged the laptop into the the router via wire to download the wireless card drivers.
I've run into a weird problem. Two of my linux machines (A and B, both running CentOS 5.5) are connected to the same wall ethernet socket via a hub. Bothf them are configured for static IPs. The trouble is that when machine B goes offline or hits a kernel panic, machine 1 goes offline too. What I've noticed is that in this condition the "route" output from machine A does not show any entry for the default gateway either The contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for machine A are:
