Internet in UBUNTU 9.04

[Rob Pomeroy]

If I may ask, does your internet connection works with your xp installation?

And does your DNS address in ubuntu points to your ISP?

These are good questions.

Aside from the above, it's possible that Ubuntu has not correctly installed the drivers for your network card.

Hey Rob,
              Yes it works perfectly with Windows XP ('m using it now )
And sadly, nothing in UBUNTU points to my ISP

Within Ubuntu, bring up a terminal, enter the following commands, and if you possibly can, (e.g. by saving to a intermediate file) cut and paste the output in this thread:

ifconfig
route
traceroute www.yahoo.com

Thanks!

Try to restart your network connection.

Try to do:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
<enter your password>

Then check again if you could connect to the internet
