Cannot get Wired Connection to work on Linux mint
by ssinghal from LinuxQuestions.org on (#14G34)
Hi,
My laptop is able to connect to wifi easily but is not working for wired connection.
this is what I get when I try ifconfig:
surbhi@surbhi-Precision-M2800 ~ $ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 34:e6:d7:0a:21:ad

My personal thought is that my eth0 does not have an IP address setup. But I thought that it would happen automatically.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
