First of all, hi :)

 

I believe I'm a super noob. I can't get connected to the net in ubuntu. I've tried DHCP and static IP as well. None of it works. I can't ping my router. I've set my IP, gateway, mask in ifconfig and... it does't work. Those settings are good, couse I'm working right now on Win XP. But what is strange, the dhcp dosn't work too (It should, right?). Could somebody help me please?

hi to you too,

 

what network card are you trying to use ?

 

cheers

It's 3Com 3C90XB Combo PCI card.

Does the system recognize the card? Run 'ifconfig -a' and check whether there is an eth adapter. You need the Linux drivers if your system didn't detect it automatically.

Yes, it recognize it as 3com (..) Vortex. That coould be correct I believe. Any other sugestions?

as root do this

 

Quote:ifconfig

paste the results of that here 

then do this

 

Quote:lspci

 

and paste the output here

 







 

should enable your network card if everything is 'ok'

 

cheers

Also show us the output of 'route -n' and 'mii-tool eth0'. What's the IP address of your router?

As you wish :)

route -n :

 

Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

 

mii-tool eth0 :

eth0: 10 Mbit, half duplex, link ok

 

Router IP is 192.168.0.1

No one replies. Does it man those settings look ok?
