Wired connection problem through router
- by tommypincha
I'm having trouble to connect my Ubuntu 11.10 to internet through ethernet. I installed a router to get Wi-Fi and now (by a wired connection) I can't have internet with ubuntu (but I can with Windows 7). I see several attempts per minute of the network-manager to get a connection, but after a minute it stops trying.
Here are a couple of outputs from key files:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
and
ifconfig -a
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:76:e4:a6:e8

I tried reconnecting the modem and the router and reconnecting the ethernet cable but nothing... I tried other solutions from other posts (this one has a similar issue Wired connection not working) but again nothing.
My IP is dynamic.
A couple of things I see and did:
I see no inet addr, only inet6. I ignored ipv6 from the internet connections, and restarted the network-manager service and nothing.
A difference with the post I mentioned is the RX packets with errors I have, is this a clue of the problem?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!
