Hi. I experienced this exact problem in Ubuntu 9.04, today. While attempting to try to fix it I killed my network connection somehow and had to remove & purge package network-manager.
All is well now, though. For anyone that's a newbie like me, here's how I fixed it. These three terminal commands were necessary: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces 1) Restarts networking. Saves you a reboot after changing settings and trying to get it to work. Also spat out helpful debug messages - helpful in the sense I could google them, and ended up here. ;) 2) Opens config file, where you can enter your router IP. I entered this: nameserver 192.168.1.1 3) Opens a config file, where you can set up static IP stuff. Note that I have two gigabit ethernet ports. Internet won't work unless you add "auto eth#" for the port you have plugged in. Also, according to an article I read, if your connection ever breaks after a kernel update, the kernel may have flipped how it orders interfaces, so you should try plugging the cable into the other port. I entered this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.116 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.115 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 Works like a charm now, and Samba starts correctly at boot. -- Samba does not start on boot. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
