My machine has wired Internet connection with Windows 7 OS. In connection properties I see
service name : ispone
obtain IP address automatically
obtain DNS server address automatically
How do I step above connection in Linux Mint (16 Cinnamon, installed on USB (16 GB))
What I have tried
dhclient
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.cof
sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
but nothing works.
You don't need to do any of that. In some flavours of Linux Ehternet or Wifi internet connection isn't disabled but you need to enable it from the Network Properties.
Go to the top and find the icon that has Wired or Wifi network connection icon.
Right click and go to Edit Connections
From there Go to the Wired dropdown and locate your eth0
Click on Edit and select Connect Automatically
it will run commands in the background and will get you connected to the internet
OK! I also have been trying to get tech support from my ISP. Two days ago, the tech person came, and did following:
Preferences > Network Connections > Add >
Choose connection type (Select DSL) > Create >
DSL (tab) > Username > your username >
Service (given by ISP) > Password (your password)
I was selecting Etherent instead of DSL, which was creating problems.
Thanks to those who tried helping out.
Using terminal: (go to)
> cd /etc/network/
> open "interfaces" file with your favorite text editor (vim, vi, whatever)
> comment out everything except "auto lo"
This worked for me.
tcpdump -i eth0 -nin another shell. Executedhclientwhiletcpdumpruns and add thetcpdumpoutput to your question.
