I am new to Linux and currently using xubuntu 16.04.3 with some asus laptop.
I am trying to connect to the internet through a router in my dorm room. Wi-fi works without a fuss however I couldn't manage to get wired connection to work.
I guess I am supposed to configure my network with an address, mask and gateway given to me from the university. I did so, both through network-manager's "edit connection" tab and through /etc/network/interfaces to no avail. I even deleted network manager and tried to set up my network from scratch (it was a complete failure, at least with nm I've got my wi fi working).
I have a Realtek RTL8101 Ethernet controller with the latest drivers installed.
-network

Have a good day/night.
