I've been mining from my neighbors wireless network (with permission). I'd run roughly 2x40 feet of usb extension cables to antennas outside. My signal strength is pretty good, but I was having stability issues and minor disconnects turned into huge issues as some changes with Catalyst 11.6 removed part of my GUI menus. One of which contains the Network Manager. Any disconnect would prompt me to simply click reconnect, but if I wasn't home... The machines would run full tilt, but not hash a damn thing. DOT!
Today, I had my local internet provided come out and run a new internet line for my house. The line works great on my Windows machine, but neither of my 11.04 machines will work. I have the line coming out of the wall into an arris router --> dlink wireless router with 4x ethernet plugs on the back. When I connect the ethernet cable to my windows machine the light on the dlink comes on, but not when I connect to either linux machines. I've done a lot of reading and done some testing, but the output still kind of confuses me. These commands are with my wireless network plugged in as I was using the machine to browse for issues as well.

I went through these steps as well:
I've solved my problem, so i'll try help now,
Open Terminal and type
PHP Code:
sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
instead of Gedit you can use what ever editor you like
Find a section with the title [ifupdown]
and there should straight under it be a line saying
managed=false
Just change false to true, save, restart and hopefully it should be working
[ifupdown] maybe renamed something else on your system (i don't know) but its the last part of the document.
I hope this helps
EDIT:
Manually overriding for Static IP seems to be unavaliable at the moment, but this will get the connections up and running for now.[/QUOTE=Ubuntu Forums]
I'm confused on this as I think it is really simple, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
