| 889302 | 2010-05-30 03:28:00 | I have provided an old computer running Kubuntu 8.04 for a friend and she has gone from dial-up to Telstra broadband. At my house, her computer works fine on DHCP and even when I entered a static address such as 192.168.1.61 etc. Trouble is, I can't get the internet to work at her house on Telstra, can't even ping the gateway. I have set the static IP address, gateway, mask and DNS server through "Applications - System - Network" The host setting has "127.0.1.1 mary-desktop" entered. I know that the Telstra modem is OK as I took my work lap-top around there and was able to surf to my heart's content. Not so on her machine. Any help would be much appreciated. |

| 889304 | 2010-05-30 03:41:00 | Did you set the right information in the static address? Yes and I know it is correct because it worked fine on my work lap-top. |

| 889305 | 2010-05-30 03:46:00 | Did you restart the network service following the change? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Here is a manual way to do it. www.ubuntugeek.com |

| 889306 | 2010-05-30 07:14:00 | I have mine set to using Clear IP Address : 192.168.1.2 This may need changing depending on your router. Netmask : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 192.168.1.1 This may need changing depending on your router. DNS server 1 : 203.97.78.43 DNS server 1 : 203.97.78.44 It is better to set a static IP address. If you have the network manager running the easiest way is to right click on it and go to configure network. |

| 889307 | 2010-05-30 14:15:00 | Is the network adaptor in her machine actually detected etc? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 889308 | 2010-05-30 20:44:00 | What address have you assigned the PC, and what is the routers address? Where does the "127.0.1.1" come from? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 889309 | 2010-05-30 21:02:00 | I have mine set to using Clear IP Address : 192.168.1.2 This may need changing depending on your router. Netmask : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 192.168.1.1 This may need changing depending on your router. DNS server 1 : 203.97.78.43 DNS server 1 : 203.97.78.44 It is better to set a static IP address. If you have the network manager running the easiest way is to right click on it and go to configure network.I think we're talking about a direct connection to a TelstraClear cable modem here - the OP has made no mention of routers, which means that the PC should have the public IP set directly. |

| 889311 | 2010-05-31 09:10:00 | Sorry, yes it is direct to a cable modem. Originally there was a message on the screen about adding mary-desktop to the hosts file but nothing about what ip address - I worked out it was meant to be 127.0.1.1 mary-desktop I have set the public ipaddress as 121.73.148.x and the g/w as 121.73.148.1 and DNS as 203.96.152.4 with secondary DNS as 208.67.222.222 (OpenDNS) I'll try Karamea Dave's suggestion tomorrow night together with another couple from a geek at work. |
