Hi people, I'm having trouble connecting to the internet at home using Ubuntu (though it is working fine using Windows 7). I have a broadband connection which works through a Motorola SURFboard SB5101 modem (something called PPPoe over WAN miniport is also involved). I have connected my laptop to it using an Ethernet cable (or LAN cord as it is popularly called in IIT D.) In Windows, I just needed to set up a new broadband connection, which is very easy. But in Ubuntu, I am just not being able to connect, or to be strictly accurate, it tells me that I am now disconnected from the wired network, a few seconds after I turn on Ubuntu. So far, I've tried changing the MAC address in 'Auto eth0' because my ISP (named You Telecom) checks the machine's MAC address before allowing it to connect, but I am still not able to connect.
Does anyone have a clue about what to do in this situation? Please let me know if I have left any information out. Thanks, Mihir -- Mihir Mehta, B. Tech student, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
