My Ubuntu Linux worked great with the internet for days after I installed it (I have XP and Ubuntu on this PC). Now it won't connect to the internet. This happened before, but I restarted my computer and it was fine. Now I can't get connection no matter what. I haven't changed any settings or anything like that. XP connects to the internet perfectly.

How can I fix this problem?

hey..chk if ur ethernet settings or sumthin hav been changed in your ubuntu...make sure ur IP hasnt chagned or nethin....u need 2 b logged in as root 2 b able 2 chng ne netwrok properties...

The internet works not for some reason... I didn't change any settings... It will probably be down again if I restart my computer.

It may hav happened automatically for unknown reason..da change in the settings that is...chk wats the status of that n den get bac...is the ip adress etc da same as is in XP wen ur connected 2 da network???

Boot into XP and check what you have for network settings and write it down. Now reboot into Ubuntu and set the network options to match M$ Windoze. I'm not sure where it is in Ubuntu, I run Fedora. If you have the GNU desktop, it's under the administration settings, network and network hardware (I think, going from memory here). Downstairs on the wifey's laptop and the real machine (aka Linux) is upstairs in the office.
