Greetings Linux Demigods, I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from DVD to my laptop while it was online via an ethernet RJ45 jack plugged into my router. It has a wireless card in it as well. After installation, I was able to connect to the internet when I was plugged directly into my router. I was not able to use the internet via my wireless network card. I do have a wireless card installed and I connect to it fine with Windows on the same machine, which is a dell inspiron E1505. I chose to not deal with the wireless issue and keep using the direct plug in. I then updated my machine using the Update Manager application provided by Ubuntu. It downloaded and installed about 157MB of updates. After these updates all successfully intalled, I rebooted my machine and can no longer connect at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can get to a command prompt, but please do not assume I know anything. Linux runs so much better on my machine and I am trying to get all the basic stuff working so that I can switch from Windows. I need to connect with both my wireless and ethernet network cards. Please help. Thank you very much. -Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
