    Exclamation NEED Xubuntu internet connection help

    Well, I dumped my other OS (no need to mention who it is...but you know) leaving it on one hard drive and Linux on my other.

    I succesfuly installed Xubuntu on the hard drive and ran all the diagnostics, it read 0 errors, so I assume it installed fine.

    The problem is, no matter what I do, I can't get to the net! The INTERNETZ!

    I can't ping my router even, yet at the top right corner there there is the two computers icon that represents the network status..hmm..

    I need help very badly, I don't know if it's even detecting my card, yet when I type the "lspci" (something like that) code it lists my Realtek RTL8139...does that mean it's communicating correctly?

    On a side note, I had the same problem with Ubuntu. After I installed it I tried each desktop (Gnome, Xclient, Failsafe Gnome...) and I can't remember how, but I got the internetz to work, but only for ONE session, never to connect again.

    ANY help will be appreciated, I'm seconds away from hiring someone to rob me by the hour just to get online.

    Thanks.

    Hi there!

    Can you open a terminal and fire up the following command:

    Code:
    ifconfig
    Copy the results and post them here.

    Also, do you have a static or a dynamic Internet connection?
    Distribution: Archlinux
    Processor: 3 x Amd 64 bit

    Well, how can I copy and paste if I can't connect to the net? If I could do that I wouldn't be asking for help here. XD

    *sigh*

    I went into Windows and used the Device Manager and set my card's option "Wake-on-LAN" something something and clicked enable, no difference.

    To answer your question I has a DHCP setting but again, I can't even ping my router or reach 192.168.1.1/.0.1 in my browser.

    Can you post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces

    Sorry, I should have been more specific,

    run the following command to list the contents to a terminal window

    Code:
    sudo cat /etc/networking/interfaces

    DOH!

    Code:
    sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
    It's networking when restarting!!
