no internet ubuntu 8.10
Thumbs down no internet ubuntu 8.10
Hi everyone my problem is as follows. I duel boot with XP/UBUNTU 8.10 my problem is I cannot get any internet access. XP allows me access but not Ubuntu I use a maxon bp3-ext with bigpond. Remember I have no access with Ubuntu so I cannot download programmes. The next problem I also have a HP Pavilion dv600 laptop I would like to use a linux based operating system with this but until I solve my net access problem I cannot change. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Terry |
wired, wireless?
what is the output from Code:

No internet on latest linux versions
Hi,
I have a similar problem, when I install a 'latest' Linux flavour (I have tried Ubuntu 8.10, fedora 10, suse 11 and Linux Mint 6) I have no internet access. However, the little icon in the status bar says I have a connection. But when I enter a URL in a browser (firefox 3) I get a 'server not found' error each time. When I revert to an older linux (in my case ubuntu 7.10) I have no problem accessing the internet. All works fine. Do these latest Linux flavours have some default security or firewall setting that I am not aware off which are not present in the older versions ? They detect the connections but seem unable to send any requests. Any ideas ? Thanks, Patrick |
pdemaers,
Please start a new thread for your problem, instead of hijacking this one. Thank you |
How is this hijacking ... ?
How do you mean hijacking. I have a very similar problem (actually the same problem) as the original poster and just wanted to share my situation in order to broaden the net while trying to get a solution. Why should I start a new thread for something that looks like the same problem ?
Cheers, Patrick |

Here is the info
Hi,
not sure if this info is relevant anymore as I have reverted to Ubuntu 7.10 and I have a working internet connection. I need this box as a local test machine for my website development so as long as apache, php and mysql are working its fine. I use the internet connection to download software for installation/testing purposes and I can always do that from another box. But here is the requested info anyway: ~$ ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:CD:6F:09:76 inet addr:192.168.7.221 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20b:cdff:fe6f:976/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4761 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2678 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:5880275 (5.6 MB) TX bytes:306341 (299.1 KB) Interrupt:20 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:3856 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3856 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:8986548 (8.5 MB) TX bytes:8986548 (8.5 MB) ~$ iwconfig -a -a No such device ~$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P PCI to AGP Controller (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev c2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) SMBus Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) 05:02.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5782 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) 05:04.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05) 05:04.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] (rev 05) 05:04.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05) 05:04.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder [IR Port] (rev 05) I hope this helps ...

@pdemaers:
I see you have a "Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5782" which is supported by linux...You could always try debian. they just release their latest version the other day. Sorry this isn't a good answer... |

try:
Code:
sudo dhclient eth0If it fails, then post the output. also, the file "/etc/network/interfaces" should have an entry that looks something like this: Code:
auto eth0 |
I hope this is what you need

Try any other LiveCD and look the module of eth0.
I recommended Mandriva live or PCLinuxOS. |
and "/etc/network/interfaces" had what I posted? youre sure the thing is plugged in correctly? and that the Network lights are flickering in the back?

all conections are working. It will work with XP or VISTA but not with Ubuntu
