    New over here....trying to solve a network problem

    Hey guys!
    I have my second machine with linux. First one with ethernet conection.
    It's a celeron 800mhz with 256mb that runs pretty fine ^^
    Here is what I have:
    A lynksys WRT54G conected to my ISP via ethernet, and I have a computer on wireless and two via cable: the computer that I'm writing right now with windows xp sp3 and the other one with ubuntu 9.04.
    Cable conections seems to be right, the green light on router is on, and in the back of the pci card on the ubuntu pc, is on too.
    As I said the ubuntu pc have a PCI Card....I looked up which was and its a SIS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 83).
    Tried several thing. I modified the /etc/network/interfaces several times with no results at all. Tried to get on system/preferences/network conections and I see this "auto eth0" and don't know how to figured out. Also tried some things on terminal....executed pppoeconf and said to me that i'm not conected.
    Also when I click on the network icon on desktop shows me "Wired Network: disconected"
    If someone could help me, I appreciate so much!

    Everything should be taken care of through the networkmanager applet in the right hand corner of your toolbar.

    You should not edit /etc/network/interfaces if you are using networkmanager. Improper settings there will screw up other wireless programs.

    Does this give you a connection?
    Code:
    sudo dhclient eth0
