If you're running GNOME, look in the Notification Area for an icon that looks like a couple cables connected to each other. Right-click on it, and verify that "Enable Networking" is checked.<br>
<br>
If it is checked, click on "Edit Connections", and check the settings of your connections in there. Unfortunatly, I can't give you good defaults, as my box is set up in a rather peculiar fashion to handle routing between broadband, a wifi bridge, virtual machines and a VPN.<div>

I somehow managed to hose the<br>
Ethernet connect on a laptop running<br>
Ubuntu 9.10. The bottom line is that<br>
when I try to ping an outside URL I get<br>
"network is unreachable." I've done <br>
some searching on the Internet for <br>
this, but so far nothing clicks.<br>
Some relevant things:<br>
* ifconfig shows that eth0, lo, and wan0<br>
are gone, so I set them all to "up."<br>
* /etc/resolv.conf looks OK.<br>
* I can ping 127.0.0.1, but nothing outside.<br>
* "/sbin/dhclient wlan0" was not running,<br>
so I started it.<br>
* I've done other A-B comparisons with<br>
a machine also running Ubuntu 9.10,<br>
and has a working eth0 port, but so far<br>
nothing has shown me the key thing<br>
that is missing.<br>
One suggestion on the Internet was to <br>
use dhcpcd, but I don't have it installed,<br>
and can't do it now. The machine does<br>
not have a CDROM unit, and of course I<br>
don't have Internet access.....<br>
Does this much suggest anything to try<br>
to anyone? I've power cycled, but some<br>
software might be missing, and when<br>
I come back up I have to run ifconfig again<br>
to set things up.<br>
