Welcome to the forums!

Try this:

/sbin/ifconfig -a

If eth0 shows in that output, then:

ifconfig eth0 up && ifconfig

If eth0 doesn't show up, check your machine. Chances are someone stole your network card

prob not the best way, but this is how i fix that.


i press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to gui)

you will then see something like
Debian GNU/Linux

localhost login:

enter your username, press enter

enter your password press enter

then i pull the network cable out.. then a line of code shows up saying something like

WatchDog Eth1 Cable unplugged

in this case it has told me that my network card is eth1 not eth0.

then i edit my /etc/network/interfaces to reflect the changes
