No Wireless Signal; No Ethernet Connection
Disclaimer: I wasn't sure if I should have posted this in newbie or here.
I'm using an old Dell XPS Desktop as a fileserver with Linux Mint. I was using dhcp and doing ftp transfers with filezilla. I've since started using gftp. At one point the host ip changed and I could connect, but couldn't do transfers, so I edited /etc/network/interfaces with a static ip, which I have since changed back. (It was around this time when the router stopped projecting a signal.) It reads:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
Since then, I bought a new used router hoping to alleviate the problem, which is also not projecting a wireless signal, and which I cannot connect to via eth0 from wither computer. The ethernet cable is connected from the computer to the router, which is connected through one of the ethernet ports, NOT the internet port. The router is plugged in. The router's wireless blinky thing is blinking on and off and I don't know if it's supposed to blink or stay lit. The router is a Buffalo WHR-HP-G300N. I don't know the router's ip address, although in the documentation it says the default ip is 192.168.11.1.
~ $ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:72:24:c2:88
inet6 addr: fe80::213:72ff:fe24:c288/64 Scope:Link

I don't think that HWaddr is the right one. I think that is the HWaddr for the previous router. I'm also not sure how I would change this. Help?
