Can't connect Ubuntu 9.10 to Internet
Hello. I have tried Ubuntu 9.10 on various machines, Dell GX-260, GX-270, GX-280, GX-620, HP Pavilion, etc. and I can't get Firefox to go on the Internet. I see many forum answers here on commands to enter but nothing has worked. I have used command such as:
sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
sudo iwlist eth0 scan
http://
iwconfig
ifconfig
ping -c 4 google.com
traceroute google.com
route -n
netstat -nr
netstat -a
netstat -l
lspci
System-
sudo pppoeconf
sudo lshw -C network; ifconfig
Firefox Network settings
and they all look "right" but I have no way of knowing. The problem is interpreting the results. I have no idea what is right or wrong. So if there was some explanation somewhere that would be very useful.
It would be nice if there was a Internet Troubleshooting tool that you could download that would automatically detect the problem and tell you how to fix it (or fix it automatically).
By the way, expect more questions about getting the Internet to work, as Ubuntu was given the endorsement of Brian Krebs of the Washington Post:
