So at first I was unable to get my Belkin Surf & Share usb to install on my computer, so then I plugged my computer directly into my router and my computer won't acknowledge any connection. I know very little about how to use ubuntu, please help me. What I do know is:

  • I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
  • In my 'edit connections', I go into 'wired' tab, select "wired connection 1" then 'edit' it brings up 4 tab options:

    • Wired (I input the MAC address that's printed on the bottom of my router, MTU is set to automatic)
    • 802.1x Security (currently: not checked)
    • IPv4 Settings (currently: Automatic (DHCP) addresses only)
    • IPv6 Settings (currently: Automatic)
