Networking problems
 
Hello.
I had my network up and running fine I could connect to the internet and everything. Turned off my computer and the next morning I came back to it and it wasn't on the network. It doesn't get the Ip address on start up. All my cables are fine and everything is plugged in properly. I ran netconfig and configured y network. What could be wrong?? and how might I fix it??

If you have another OS on some other partition you could try it to make sure it is not your ISP that's having a problem. I have no idea what other problem it could be given so little information. Please provide the output of this command
Code:
ifconfig eth0
You're using DHCP, isn't it?

Yes I am using DHCP, my ISP has no problems because I a, on my mom's windows PC.
The Output was eth0:error fetching interface: Information Device not found.

Thanks

try doing a
Code:
ifconfig
If it only displays your loopback device try forcing it up like
Code:
ifconfig eth0 up
And if it comes up try doing a dhcp lease like
Code:
dhcpcd eth0

is the driver automatically loaded during boot? after booting your system, you can check if the driver for your card is loaded using lsmod.
