I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Inspirion E1505 and when I booted to the install drive it recognized the Internet just fine. Now that I have it installed, not so much. When I run ifconfig it only returns lo. When I run:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

it only returns: 

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

  • if you run apt-cache policy network-manager and the version installed, denoted by prepended ***, is from trusty-proposed and is at version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7.2, you could add 14.04 tag and check if your question is a duplicate of #727127 – r2rien Feb 02 '16 at 23:54

I've had similar problems in the past. Often adding auto eth0 to the end of /etc/network/interfaces does the trick.

If sudo lshw -C network shows that you have an eth0 (You may have to sudo apt-get instal lshw), add iface eth0 inet to /etc/network/interfaces
