Network problems in Ubuntu 12.04

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 526 / 2 Years ago, thu, april 7, 2022, 2:08:42

I have a computer I haven't used in a while running Ubuntu 12.04
I want to upgrade to fix the problems but I can't get a working connection.

During start up I get the message waiting for network configuration.Once started I used to be able to get online by running sudo dhclient eth0 to make my wired connection work.
I've tested the wired connection works on another machine.

I've tried a load of things from googling to no avail.

Please help. I'm pretty much a novice Ubuntu user. If there's any logs I need to include here let me know.

If you are using Desktop means you have to delete interfaces file (auth eth0 or eth1 and iface inet eth0 dhcp) but don't to delete the loopback address.

Then start your services using service networking start
