ping ubuntu 'block'
I have a pc running ubuntu. I checked the network connection using ping and it is unable to connect to the internet. I've checked the same internet connection with another identical pc running ubuntu and the connection is working. Any suggestions?

hi gerrymac1943:
please also show the ifconfig and ip route from the pc that do work.
Looking at the ifconfig above, i don't see a IPv4 address on eth0.
To try and diagnose you could try and force a dhcp update.
$ sudo dhclient eth0

will this device work if you add a static ip address to eth0?

Ok so you are not getting any response to your DHCP requests.
Possible causes.
1. No DHCP server for the subnet or not connected
2. Wrong eth port on linux box ? Are there more than one eth ? # ifconfig
3. FW - Unlikely with default config
I agree with slushm: try to configure a static IP and proof that the linux box is not at fault, then try and fix the dhcp issue.

how do i configure a static IP?
ifconfig eth0 192.xxx.xxx..xxx netmask 255.xxx.xxx.xxx - you have to know the addresses
ifconfig eht0 up
ifconfig eht0 up
