    Can't get online

    When I returned from two days travel, my linux computer has stopped finding the internet.

    ifconfig shows the gateway as 127.0.0.1. I can ping the gateway.

    whereas my Windows computer (plugged into the same ethernet router) shows the default gateway as 192.168.0.0. The windows computer finds the internet normally.

    If I try to ping either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.105 (the windows computer) from the linux computer, it returns:

    "Network is unreachable"

    When I first installed Ubuntu (10.4) on the linux computer, I inadvertently gave it a different network name from my Windows computer. I haven't had time to try to figure out what to do to get them to talk to each other.

    So I would like to get the linux computer back on line and while at it, get the two computers to talk to each other.

    I have no idea where to start. Please assist

    192.168.0.0 in first post should be 192.168.0.1 (typo)

    Router is DHCP

    It's generally quite active. Guess the right person, one who knows what to do about your problem, hasn't seen it yet. Other than refering you to this generic link http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wir...tart-here.html, I would recommend deleting and reinstalling the link to see if that solves your problem. A recent update may have messed up your drivers, so you could try reinstalling those also. Not my area, so sorry I can't be of more help.

    It's a little slow due to the holidays but it's a very active forum most other times.
    Post the output of
    Code:
    lspci -knn
    Code:
    ifconfig -a
    Code:
    dmesg
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.
