&gt;                         &gt; I somehow managed to hose the<br>
&gt;                         &gt; Ethernet connect on a laptop running<br>
&gt;                         &gt; Ubuntu 9.10.  The bottom line is that<br>
&gt;                         &gt; when I try to ping an outside URL I get<br>
&gt;                         &gt; &quot;network is unreachable.&quot;  I&#39;ve done<br>
&gt;                         &gt; some searching on the Internet for<br>
&gt;                         &gt; this, but so far nothing clicks.<br>
&gt;                         &gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                         &gt;<br>
&gt;                         Im not sure abt dhcpd fixing this, but iirc<br>
&gt;                         synaptic has a &quot;download<br>
&gt;                         list&quot; feature that you can feed into wget on<br>
&gt;                         another machine (or boot to<br>
&gt;                         a livecd withthis one).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                         Are you using Networkmanager?  Shouldnt have a<br>
&gt;                         lot of ifups and down<br>
&gt;                         necessary.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;                 No.  I installed wicd, and that&#39;s when it all<br>
&gt;                 started....<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;         Two solutions: Read the man pages and docs for wicd and<br>
&gt;         manually configure it to handle your network connectivity, or<br>
&gt;         uninstall it and reinstall NetworkManager.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;         --<br>
&gt;         :wq<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Can&#39;t do either.  wicd is not on the<br>
&gt; system, and I have no way to reinstall<br>
&gt; NetworkManager.<br>
