Just installed Xubuntu 14.04 from usb, installed okay except that I cannot connect to internet.

  • I'm connected via a Solwise Homeplug (Ethernet over wiring).
  • Xubuntu says I have 'Wired connection 1' but 'Ethernet Network' is greyed out
  • ipconfig lists a section for 'etho' and 'lo'
  • I have a Mac and a PC connected to the same homeplug and their internet connection is fine
  • During installation it also complained I have no internet access.

Previously I was running Xubuntu 12.10 and that was working fine until yesterday when it also lost internet connection and then wouldn't start after reboot. It is for this reason that I installed Xubuntu 14.04 figuring a new installation would resolve the problem.

ipconfig lists a section for 'etho' and 'lo'
You you have an IP in the eth0 entry? Perhaps your machine doesn't get a DHCP IP...

  • unilke the lo section it has a line for inet6 but not inet (4) could that be the problem Aug 22, 2014 at 11:24

  • Its okay, I turned off and on my other solwise plug downstairs and now working, FWIW ifconfig is also showing an inet (4) address now. Aug 22, 2014 at 11:47
