Hi folks, just got a new computer, yanked out my harddisks from its predecesor, plugged them in in the correct order and bingo, it started up, wow!

now minor problem is I don't have internet. How do I ask ubuntu karmic, to use the new ethernet on board ?

from the command line type in

Code:

lspci

This will show us what adapter you have? Also check in /etc/network/interfaces

to see if it shows anything like iface eth0 up

I have disabled the onboard eth now, the pci card inserted, works. so how do i ask it to use eth2 (thats what it says)
