Hi, I'm a new user who is trying to move from Microsoft to free Linux platform. I searched the internet and found that Linux Mint was the best alternative will all the audio video codec right out of the box. I installed it on my system but in another hard disk.
Problem:
When i first connected to the internet it was fine, I use LAN for internet. I even updated it but after I restarted my system my lan connection was gone, it simply said it is not configured. I tried a lot but couldn't find the solution.
Please help..

Re: LAN not working after update
click on the Network manager and click the eth 0 or eth 1
and if it dont bring you back up then reset the modem/router
if you can boot to a Live CD and see if you can connect to the internet that way.

Re: LAN not working after update
i can connect to the internet with boot cd, i can even use it after installation but before system update.
I'm not using modem or router, i'm using wireless CPE device. Internet works fine with XP(which is installed in another hard disk).

Re: LAN not working after update
Hi,
Welcome to Linux Mint!
Your inxi -N command did not appear to work correctly, you should get a result something along these lines
Network:
Card-1 Intel 82801DB PRO/100 VE (MOB) Ethernet Controller driver e100
Card-2 Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection driver ipw2200
It is probably due to the terminal window that you were using to cut and paste the information.
Your connection is not going to work with 169.254.x.x. IP address. This is a default address that is assigned by Windows XP APIPA feature (automatic private network IP addressing). Have you tried renewing DHCP lease? Do you know what should be the IP address range once you are able to connect? You are on a WiFi LAN, who is the administrator for this network? If you are on a University LAN of some type, a lot of places require you to click on a default window in a browser before you are assigned an IP address, this is common practice in WiFi enabled Cafe's and libraries. To renew a lease you can try either of these commands
With kind regards,
pompom

Re: LAN not working after update
I'm using Linux Mint 9 Isodora
the command : sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
doesn't work, it says "command not found"
same for the command : sudo network-manager restart
If it helps in any way, i had updated my Linux one time and the update was of size about 350 MB.
