Suddenly lost Ethernet connection
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 on a Acer Aspire One.
My wifi and ethernet always worked fine, but suddenly I can't connect with my wired connection anymore. Can't ping either. When I do ifconfig only "lo" and "pan0" show up, no "eht0". When i boot in WinXP it works fine, but for some reason won't work in Ubuntu?? I don't know what the source for this problem is, any ideas?? I'm just a newbie, so maybe it's really easy to solve. Thanks |
Are you saying the wireless works but not the wired connection? If both are connecting to the same router or subnet, you can only have one active at a time. Make sure wireless is off.
As root, you can try ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0. You can check lspci to see if the wired interface card shows up in the pci devices. If it doesn't, it means Ubuntu did not detect the hardware, so it certainly isn't going to work. |
Hi,
Welcome to LQ! What does 'ifconfig -a' show? Quote:
