When i switch to Windows i can connects to internet but when i switch to linux, it can't. I already try to configure the setting on my own and post some question on forums but still, it's fail. Anyone can help me?
 

what is ur prob? do u see any error while connecting to internet?
 

I cannot connect o internet at all whenever i switch to linux environment.. Seems like may network card interface cannot be detected.. see the pic below..


 

it looks probably like ur ethernet drivers are not installed properly..........
Make sure that ur network drivers are installed .. Once its installed, goto the network option in Administration and u can set the IP ..then u can connect to the internet
 

i have installed my Ubuntu in my computer and the internet works fine... i set my router to dynamic ip addressing.

installing a newer version of ubuntu will solve the nic detection problem
after that set the ip address, Subnet mask, default gateway, and the dns server ips
it will solve u r problem

for setting the above ip address do these steps through the terminal

To configure your system to use a static IP address assignment, add the static method to the inet address family statement for the appropriate interface in the file /etc/network/interfaces. The example below assumes you are configuring your first Ethernet interface identified as eth0. Change the address, netmask, and gateway values to meet the requirements of your network.

in terminal

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

inseart

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1

then save the file and close

By adding an interface configuration as shown above, you can manually enable the interface through the ifup command.

ie,

sudo ifup eth0


DNS Client Configuration

To configure your system to use DNS for name resolution, add the IP addresses of the DNS servers that are appropriate for your network in the file /etc/resolv.conf

Below is an example of a typical configuration of /etc/resolv.conf for a server on the domain "example.com" and using two public DNS servers.

in terminal

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

search example.com
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4


it is enough
 

First you need to ensure the CDMA device is supported in ubuntu ie the drivers for the device are installed properly and working.
 

Please first tell me which version of Ubuntu you are using?

Then, How do you want to connect to Internet?

(LAN, Wireless, Mobile Broadband or DSL?)

Do you have a Network Manager Icon on Panel Bar?

(Have you right clicked on that icon to check the boxes correctly?)

Have you set the Network Connection through the Manager?

(SYSTEM>PREFERENCES>NETWORK CONNECTIONS)

Do you want to connect Automatically or Manually?

(Set these preferences within Network Connections)

Hi,

My computer is an HP ThinkPad with Centrino. I can usually just turn on the computer and be connected to a wireless signal. At other times, it requires some tinkering, and in the worst (rare) cases, it does not connect at all. But by following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot most wireless connection problems in Ubuntu.
