I have been using dual boot since ubuntu 6.04, and everything has worked fine... but I removed WIN XP when I installed ubuntu 10.04 and now I cannot seem to get that online. Everything is the same, except for the os.

I have TWO pc's, both are attached to a router by way of ethernet. one pc has ubuntu, and this pc has xp.

I have removed the router, and tried connecting directly, but that didn't WORK either.

Did you have it plugged into the internet while installing?

Type lspci in terminal and LIST you output here.-Did you have it plugged into the internet while installing?

yes. however, i removed both os' from the pc (XP and ubuntu 9.10). i reformated pc, and installed ubuntu 10.04. after installing, i was asked to update, and i chose ok, however, pc responded 'unable to connect'.

:~$I see no Ethernet controller in your list. Are you using an onboard Ethernet/network adpater or an add-on card? If it's onboard (i.e. integrated with the motherboard), I suggest you access your BIOS settings to verify it's not disabled in the BIOS. If it's onboard and you've confirmed it's not disabled in the BIOS, then you might find that installing an add-on is the solution. An inexpensive D-Link DFE 530TX+ could do the trick. I've got one in one of my computers and it's been reliable. -Are you using an onboard Ethernet/network adpater or an add-on card?

Ethernet adapter

-If it's onboard (i.e. integrated with the motherboard), I suggest you access your BIOS settings to verify it's not disabled in the BIOS.

I went to BIOS, but I didn't really know what I was looking for.
When I say onboard vs. add-on card, you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?-When I say onboard vs. add-on card, you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

I am sorry to say, but you are ABSOLUTELY right. Well, suffice to say, getting the card (see link in my previous post) and installing it in your computer would probably solve your problem. Since you apparently have no experience doing such hardware upgrades, perhaps you should have a computer repair shop install it. Quote from: soybean on June 17, 2010, 08:05:07 AM
