Due to the retirement of Windows XP, I decided to try Kubuntu. I installed it on a Lenovo T61 laptop alongside XP. The Ethernet Controller is Intel Corp 82566Mm Gigabit Network Connection.
The install went smoothly. It's connected with a "wired' Ethernet on eth0
, which shows connected.
- The browser cannot find any webpages, server not found. I tried to
ping google.com
, returnedunknown host
- I accessed the "Driver Management' but its empty.
- I've changed the DNS servers to
8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
, andautomatic (only addresses)
. - Under Active Connections, some Kb have been both received and sent.
I am entirely new to Linux.
Please help, as I'd really like to use Linux on other computers as well.
8.8.8.8
