I am a new to Linux. I cannot get a LAN connection in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It used to work in Windows 7.

Here is the result from if config -a

I don't really know how to interpret those results in terms of troubleshooting, but I would appreciate any help that you could provide.

Update

I am sorry for the poor explanation. Ubuntu is not detecting the the fact that it is connected (i.e., it says "Wire Unplugged"). The ethernet port lights are off.

Here is the output from dmesg | grep -e e100 -e enp

  • I assume your question is actually that it isn't connected, since it is obviously detected. Are there any clues in the log? Please edit your question to add the result of the terminal command: dmesg | grep -e e100 -e enp Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Aug 14 '17 at 13:01
  • Thanks. I have updated the post. The actually issue is that the network connection is not detected (i.e., Network setting say "Cable unplugged"). – Jim Aug 14 '17 at 13:55
  • Please try another known good cable. Also, at the Network Manager icon, disconnect the wireless and try to connect the ethernet. Then run: cat /var/log/syslog | grep -e enp -e etwork | tail -n 25 > ask.txt Reconnect the wireless. Find the document ask.txt in your /home/user (Jim??) directory and paste it here and give us the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com So far, we see nothing wrong in your posted details. – chili555 Aug 14 '17 at 14:47
  • I don't think it's the cable, because I just connected my Windows 10 laptop to the same connection without problems. – Jim Aug 14 '17 at 15:27
  • I did try a new cable, and it worked with the Windows 10 laptop, but not the Ubuntu laptop. When I disconnect from the WiFi, it just says the ethernet "cable unplugged.".

  • Is your ethernet cable going to a switch or hub, or directly into a router or modem? – heynnema Aug 14 '17 at 16:01
  • It's plugged into a Netgear Powerline adapter. The Power LED and Powerline LED are both green. The Ethernet LED is off, but turns on when the cable is plugged into my Windows 10 laptop. It connects fine with the Windows 10 laptop.

    As a side note, my whole Network Manager appears to be having problems. It doesn't refresh the WiFi list. It won't let me connect to other WiFi networks (i.e., clicking the Connect button doesn't do anything). It says my household WiFi networks are out of range, etc.

It is detected. It's enp0s25. You just don't have an IP address. Look in Settings -> Network -> Wired and turn on dhcp
