So I have a dual booted machine (Windows10/Ubuntu 14.04). From the windows side I can access the internet no problem.

However from the Ubuntu side I cannot and have never been able to connect to the internet. I can only ping localhost.

At first eth0 wasn't receiving an inet addr but I gave it a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0 
iface eth0 inet static 
address 192.168.1.106 
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-servers 8.8.8.8
dns-servers 8.8.4.4

And now when I do ifconfig it has an inet addr and the system "connects" but I still cannot ping anything or connect to the internet.

Any ideas? Not a lot to go on I know..

Set it back to DHCP and run sudo dhclient. See if that helps at all. – TheWanderer Jan 24 '16 at 21:11
Nope. Didn't work. I switched everything back to square one and now I am getting a "device not managed" when I look at the list of networks – jasonaburton Jan 24 '16 at 21:24
I've tried changing it to managed=true in /etc/NetworkManager/Network manager.conf. Then it says it connected to a new wired network called "eth0" but still no connection – jasonaburton Jan 24 '16 at 21:28
In that case, this might be useful. – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jan 24 '16 at 21:32
No I didn't find anything that helped me from that thread. Lots of stuff I've tried from there though. – jasonaburton Jan 24 '16 at 22:12
