I recently added a partition to my computer with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit.

It is Turbo-X dual-boot with Windows 7. The Ethernet works good in Windows but in Ubuntu does not work.

The wired connection is trying to connect to the switch all the time but it does not connect.

  • Please post the output of dmesg | grep eth0. And also please specify to which device the cable is plugged in (probably it's router; which model?).

  • @GeoMind The output of dmesg | grep eth0 is very hard to read when posted as a comment, as line breaks are not preserved. I recommend adding it to your question itself, by editing. Jul 24, 2014 at 2:25

sudo dhclient -r and sudo dhclient eth0

  • Find your subnet and gateway, and a random free IP address. (get this from working windows box) Turn off your wireless and sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.X.X netmask 255.255.255.X and then ping gateway

  • HUH? Not following your setup. So you just have 2PCs connected through a switch? If that's the case then you won't have DHCP server and have to configure the IP/subnet manually

I had this very same issue.
Went into my bios and turned on the IOMMU option for my motherboard.
After that, Ubuntu saw the ethernet and worked properly.
