What do I need to do to get an ethernet connection? I have an ethernet connection on two computers plugged in to my motorola modem/router (there are four ports) but another computer plugged in to one of the open ports does not get a connection. I can get a wireless connection on the same computer, but no wired connection.
Under network settings, I see the following: (*) Automatic IP is checked ( ) Manual configuration is not checked IP address is grayed out Netmask is grayed out Gateway is grayed out [ ] Get DNS servers from DHCP was checked but I unchecked it and tried 206.67.222.222 and 220 for DNS servers 1 and 2 (that didn't help) (*) Allow users to manage the connection is checked (*) Start the connection at boot is checked (*) Enable traffic accounting is checked Under "Advanced" settings: IP settings Search domains [ (is blank) ] DHCP client [ dhclient ] DHCP timeout (in seconds) [ (is blank) ] [*] Get YP servers from DHCP is checked [ ] Get NTPD servers from DHCP is blank DHCP host name [ (is blank) ] Metric [ 10 ] MTU [ (is blank) ] [*] Network Hotplugging is checked [*] Enable IPv6 to IPv4 tunnel (was blank; I tried checking it) Why does Linux make all this so convoluted/complex/complicated instead of pre-setting everything so it all "just works"? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
