Hello friends
I am new to ubuntu 9.04, I installed it very recently on my computer, the problem I have is that it does not connect to the internet, I have a modem connected to a router which shares the internet to several PCs in the house, in linux ubuntu it indicates that it is connected but I can not browse, what steps do I need to do to be able to configure the card or enable it I don't know, I would appreciate your help please

One option is that you enable the DHCP server on the router. If you don't want/know, you have to configure the connection manually, but for that you need to know the network in which the router is located (for example 192.168.1.x) and its IP (gateway).

Thanks for responding Cobito

Look, after asking around, I was told to type the following in the terminal:

-sudo ifconfig or sudo ifconfig -a

then I should go to network interfaces and enable the card

or

through the terminal, type: ifconfig eth0 up

is that right or not?

Look, after checking around, they told me to type the following in the terminal:

-sudo ifconfig or sudo ifconfig -a

then go to network interfaces and enable the card

or

through the terminal type: ifconfig eth0 up

is that how it is or not?

If you have the connection configured manually or a DHCP server is running on the router, yes.

If the router is configured to connect to the internet, in Windows I just plug the network cable into the PC and it works, but in Linux I thought it was the same, but I am more excited to learn this technology to grow as a computer scientist and to contribute to the community for children or teenagers who want to improve themselves

I will try the information you provided me and I will tell you how it went at home

It should be the same as on Windows. The fact that you have to manually bring up the connection is quite strange. What network card do you have?

Finally

Look, in the end what I did was manually configure the card and enabling the DHCP server on the router and it worked perfectly, I browse much faster than Windows, I don't know why, now to learn Linuxxxxxx, I will also contribute to young people who want to learn Linux Thank you very much
