No Ethernet

[Derekfg]

Hello, since i got my computer back after i had trouble with the boot menu my Ethernet connection has stopped working.

The modem i use is a TP-LINK TD-W8960N and the wifi works as i`m using it with my laptop to post on here, but the ethernet does not.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Derekfg]

In the terminal i get these results:

ifconfig

enp1s0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 70:85:c2:2a:6c:f4 
          inet6 addr: fe80::6bdb:4f92:6fa6:b8b8/64 Scope:Link

Looks like the ethernet is seen but not connecting for some reason. Can somebody help me out me please ?

Hi [member=7298]Derekfg[/member]

What's your network device? Open whisker menu and type system, this should bring "system info/profiler" or something like that - my system's Spanish - open the program and look under pci devices for your network card, or open a terminal and type

Code:

lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet'

which will show your network card but you won't see which driver's used while in the GUI you will, it's up  to you which one to use.
With this information you may google to find out on whether or not issues have been reported for this device in linux, and if so maybe some solutions as well.

Hope this helps!

That post in that link is exactly the same as my problem, but where do i add the

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

And when i do su and enter my password it says su: Authentication failure.

Which one? There are two of them.

And when i do su and enter my password it says su: Authentication failure.

Why do you need su for? As far as I remember root account password is locked by default in Ubuntu and I believe it is too in LL since it's based on it. Sudo command is not enough? Try sudo su and see if that works.

ok i added the code in /etc/apt/sources.list and done what that link says and still no ethernet.

What code did you add in sources.list? That file is intended only for repositories.

Do the following; open a terminal and run these commands:

Code:

sudo dhclient -r

This command will release your current ip configuration then do

Code:

sudo dhclient

to get a new fresh ip configuration. Try that and see if that works.

Hope this helps!

I went out and bought one of these https://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Prod...&sid=99674

And i went into my computers BIOS and disabled the onboard LAN and i now have my ethernet working.

Thanks for your help Moltke.
