Re: No wireless in Ubuntu :(

I commented out all the static ip info in /etc/network/interfaces and
restart networking service. Then I did sudo ifconfig eth1 down. I am
sending this mail from wifi in Ubuntu. I hope it works with the other
networks I try. Thank you very much.

That's what happened ever since I became a more experienced Linux
user. I ask questions that are more difficult. Here's some output. Now
I am in Windows again, so here it shows I can resolve dns.

The routing table shows 0.0.0.0 as my gateway. That sounds like it
could be the problem.


Assuming your router is set to default 192.168.1.1 ip and is issuing
dhcp, having your ip on eth0 set to 192.168.1.1 will conflict. Have you
tried setting the eth0 to 192.168.1.2 (or something other than
192.168.1.1) to see if this clears up the issue?
