Internet Connection Issues

Hi all,

Before i left for work today, my Mpeis net connection was fine. When i got home, its no longer working.

Any ideas of what may have happened? I know i updates a few files with the apt-get update but that was it.

The internet works fine through Windows

You probably need to supply more information, such as which particular files you updated...

Hi.

I managed to fix the problem myself. What was happening is that Linux was trying to access my ISP with my on-board ethernet adapter which is not used by my DSL Modem. I use a seperate PCI card for my ethernet connection. All i did was select the 2nd ethernet device and it worked
