If your /etc/network/interfaces looks anything else than this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0


Then rename it and create another one with that content. Reboot the computer 
WITH the ethernet cable connected to both the cabel modem and the computer and 
I'll bet you're online. 
NetworkManager should take care of getting an IP-address via DHCP.

Til uvedkommende, der læser med: Der er ingen grund til at læse min mail.
Jeg har intet at gøre med FARC, al-Jihad, al-Qaida, Hamas, Hizb al-Mujahidin 
eller ETA.
Jeg har aldrig gjort Zakat, går ikke ind for Istishad, har ikke lavet en 
bilbombe eller kernevåben og jeg ved dårligt nok, hvad Al Manar og бомба 
betyder. 
Men tak for den udviste interesse
