Due to the retirement of Windows XP, I decided to try Kubuntu. I installed it on a Lenovo T61 laptop alongside XP. The Ethernet Controller is Intel Corp 82566Mm Gigabit Network Connection.

The install went smoothly. It's connected with a "wired' Ethernet on eth0, which shows connected.

  • The browser cannot find any webpages, server not found. I tried to ping google.com, returned unknown host
  • I accessed the "Driver Management' but its empty.
  • I've changed the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4, and automatic (only addresses).
  • Under Active Connections, some Kb have been both received and sent.

I am entirely new to Linux.

Please help, as I'd really like to use Linux on other computers as well.

Add a nameserver option to the following file:

/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Restart the networking service with:

$ sudo service networking restart

or reboot the computer to restart the networking service
