hello again. I have consulted the manuals online, and it seems all routes lead me back to the Network Connections panel, in which the only connection I can see, when the Ethernet cable to the BT HomeHub is plugged in, is 'Point to Point', and nothing happens when I click it. When I tried to connect via a USB port, I saw a button for 'Wired Connection' too, but nothing happened when I clicked that either. There is also an 'unlock' button, but clicking that makes no difference.
'Enable Networking' is ticked. This is certainly a vital check to make. I tried typing 'sudo ipconfig' in the terminal and got this: Link encap: Local Loopback inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0 inet6 addr:: 1/128 Scope: Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING (and then some MTU, Metric, RX packets, TX packets, errors, bytes, etc.) In other words, no interfaces at all. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
