No network connection

[Rachel]

Hey,

I have installed Ubuntu-9.04 server version on my desktop at my office. But the Internet connection is not working, what could be the reason?

We tried System->Network Connections->Manual->ipv4 and entered the details for addr, subnet and gateway, but still no luck.


Help me please!

Please post the output of the following

lspci -v
lsmod
ifconfig -a

Hey,

I did as below and it worked ( Coz I need a static IP address setup )

Configuring Static IP address for your network card

If you want to configure Static IP address you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces and you need to enter the following lines replace eth0 with your network interface card

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

# The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.3.90
gateway 192.168.3.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.3.0
broadcast 192.168.3.255

After entering all the details you need to restart networking services using the following command

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Thanks
