Ubuntu 8.04 won't connect to internet

Tree

Originally posted in the wireless forum, but it seems i cant connect over ethernet either.

Dell inspiron 1525, dual booting vista and ubuntu 8.04.

Have ndiswrapper to use the wireless card, but having finally got the driver down, the system can see my wireless network but won't connect. It also won't connect at all over the ethernet cable through my linksys router.

Not having any problems at all w/ vista.

/Edit will connect to wireless network when the wpa key is turned off.
Total noob with linux, so im completely lost at this point.

Not sure if this is in ubuntu, but NetworkManager can be used to manage your wifi settings.

Someone with more ubuntu knowledge should be able to point you in the right direction

There's some troubleshooting tips here on the Ubuntu forum:

These commands should help you work out what's happening with your connection:

ifconfig

lshw -C network

sudo dhclient eth0

sudo dhclient wlan0

If you still can't get it working post on the Ubuntu forums as well.

The Ubuntu wiki is very good too:
