Fw: Fw: loss of Internet Access on Ubuntu 10.04

[Glenn K0LNY]

Hi Jude,
The dhcpcd only told me that that is not installed.
And There is nothing in interfaces about eth0.
I do have the ifup, but that does nothing.
But I did the dhclient command you suggested, and now it is finally showing 
an IP address that reflects my router's IP range.
So that is progress, but now it cannot get out to the WAN, as updates still 
won't connect and FF still gets an error trying to load a page.
But I can ping 192.168.1.1, which is my router.
It did not understand nmtui though.
And it did not know iplink for iplink set eth0 up
But there's some progress.
Glenn
