Fw: Fw: loss of Internet Access on Ubuntu 10.04

[Glenn K0LNY]

Hi Jude,
The dhcpcd only told me that that is not installed.
And There is nothing in interfaces about eth0.
I do have the ifup, but that does nothing.
But I did the dhclient command you suggested, and now it is finally showing 
an IP address that reflects my router's IP range.
So that is progress, but now it cannot get out to the WAN, as updates still 
won't connect and FF still gets an error trying to load a page.

But I can ping 192.168.1.1, which is my router.
It did not understand nmtui though.
And it did not know iplink for iplink set eth0 up
But there's some progress.

Hi Glenn,

In /etc/network-interfaces/network-interfaces.d are sample files for
different type network installs.  One of them will have wlan0 in it
and have that connected to eth0.  That one may help if you copy it to
/etc/network-interfaces but first check the content of
/etc/network-interfaces if it exists to make sure you don't overwrite
anything valuable.  The contents of /etc/resolv.conf may prove
informative too.

Have you tried
dhcpcd
also
dhclient
yet?
Before you do those dhcpcd and dhclient commands try iproute -a and
then see where you find yourself.
If this is a new laptop Ubuntu 10.4 likely won't know all about its
hardware.
You may need to install debian firmware edition.

If you'd like it let me know and I'll see if I can send you a script
to download the iso.

Hi Jude,
Yes, although I hadn't mentioned that, I did try ifup eth0 and it says
ignoring unknown interface eth0

Fw: loss of Internet Access on Ubuntu 10.04

[Glenn K0LNY]

Hi All again,
I also tried putting a couple lines in /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8

This did nothing, and I also tried to ping 8.8.4.4 and also 8.8.8.8
and it was unable to connect.
I looked on my router and listed the devices connected, and this computer is 
not showing up.
I have it wired into the router.
Does anyone know of a network repair that can be done in Ubuntu?
I looked in system administration and network tools and it shows loop or 
something like that and eth0.
There seems to be nothing available, the applications key on them do nothing 
and entering on them do nothing.
ifconfig did not show any IP address.
Thanks for any assistance.

Glenn

Hi,
I'm going to see if I can just upgrade this Ubuntu 10.04 on the Asus netbook.
I cannot seem to get WIFI on it, so I plugged it directly into my router via 
Ethernet cable, and it still does not access any web pages using FF.
I checked to ensure the "work off line" was not checked.
So I'm wondering, when Ubuntu gets out of date, does it disable its Internet 
connectivity?
Or does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

No, that doesn't happen intentionally

What's more likely is either device failure, or the forward march of
progress. Newer wireless access points often drop support for older Wifi
standards.

Also, 10.04 is well out of support :D
