Fresh Ubuntu 7.04 behind DLink Router - No internet
 

Well, I'm something of a Windows user... Okay, I have five Windows machines. But I have been wanting to toy around with Linux since I got into PHP a couple years ago. Anyway, never was much good at any Linux stuff and just installed Ubuntu after I got sick of SUSE and the 3 failed attempts to install it - no idea.

Anyway, problems with both installs have been that I can't connect to the internet: LAN and WAN have been out of reach on this computer ever since I put Linux on it. It was running with Vista Beta 2, before, but that beat the heck outta the hardware and was slow as ****! Under all OSs, it's been wired behind a D-Link DGL-4300. So yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing here with any Linux stuff. Tried toying around with the network settings, but no matter what, I can't ping even the router. I can see that it's recognized, but I don't remember what the onboard piece is. I have a few spares lying around that I could also try later. Kinda at school now.

So if anyone could help out, it would be greatly appreciated. Tried searching around, but whenever I think something might help, it kinda loses me in the text! lol

Open up a terminal and post the output of 'ifconfig'.

Took me a quick search for how to open a terminal, but here it is, lol!

Well you're picking up an IP address. Can you ping another machine on the network or any website?

Same issue as OP, and I cannot ping other computers on the router or on the web. Using a Linksys router though.

Some variables different but nothing drastic I believe. using a NetXtreme BCM5752 by Broadcom.

Yeah, that's a manual setting. Sorry. No pings are possible with that or this.

On DHCP
