I have two OSs and the Ethernet lights on my computer don't turn on when the cable connected and I cannot connect to the internet. This is not a hardware problem, since my second OS connects to internet easily.

I have a /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I'm also try static IP address but still have the problem. Please help me, I really do not have any other idea!
UPDATE
When I run ifup eth0
, the syslog
output is:
Jan 16 22:42:34 DEMON kernel: [16477.474586] r8169 0000:25:00.0 eth0: link down
Jan 16 22:42:34 DEMON avahi-daemon[1167]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv4 with address 192.168.1.100.
Jan 16 22:42:34 DEMON avahi-daemon[1167]: New relevant interface eth0.IPv4 for mDNS.
Jan 16 22:42:34 DEMON avahi-daemon[1167]: Registering new address record for 192.168.1.100 on eth0.IPv4.
Jan 16 22:42:34 DEMON kernel: [16477.475316] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
So I tried Linux kernel version 14 and 18, but both have same problem. Any idea?
UPDATE 2
I tried to use a static IP address, so I changed interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto dsl-provider
iface dsl-provider inet ppp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up # line maintained by pppoeconf
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
provider dsl-provider
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Then ifconfig -a
:

UPDATE 3
My laptop has a problem, so I connect the laptop to a PC (rather than laptop to ADSL modem) and for now every thing is OK. But how can I connect laptop to ADSL modem?
This problem is related to Ubuntu because I checked several time on Windows 8 and I have no problem.
I reset ADSL modem router but still have the same problem.
UPDATE 4
I can detect Ethernet for once and everything was OK, but when I restart still have the same problem. There should be a command to fix this issue.
Try doing the next steps and change BaseT by 10 100 or 1000 according to your network card:
Ldentify physical eth0 port:
ethtool --identify eth0
Look config eth0:
ethtool eth0
Force Ethernet to full duplex 100Tx:
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
