No eth0 after ifconfig -a
I recently installed linux mint on a seperate drive from windows and cannot get it to connect to my ethernet. I have perfectly fine internet connection on windows os but it will not even detect an eth0 on linux.

Re: No eth0 after ifconfig -a
In place of eth0 do you see something like ens33 or some other name when you run ifconfig? If so you will need to change the name of the network card in the /etc/network/interfaces file to match. If you want to use DHCP and there is currently no entry in the interfaces file you may need to use something like this:
You would need to change the “eth0” name listed to match the name of the interface that you see when you run ifconfig.
