Every time Linux boots I have to manually use the following two commands in order to have a working internet connection.
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
dhclient eth0
I am looking for a method so the internet connection will start automatically when Lubuntu boots up.
/etc/network/interfaces:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
allow-hotplug eth0
#iface wlan0 inet manual
#wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
/etc/rc.local:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

It also seems that the second command dhclient eth0 after using the MANDATORY ONE ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full (still all the commands take effects only manually) could be replaced with ifup eth0 in order for the internet to work.
Maybe an important part of the next log is Link detected: no After boot if immediately the first command is ethtool eth0 the output is:
:~$ sudo ethtool eth0

I would like to add that the same Linux machine in discussion always receives internet connection instantly/directly, even after reboot, shutdown, with no others supplementary manual commands, or any other actions, if I only change the cable from "the problematic in discussion internet connection" to the "non-problematic" completely different DSL router connection(another ISP, BUT STILL THE SAME ETHERNET CABLE)
The problematic connection dependent on the manual commands "in discussion" which has the internet only after the manually commands, is from another ISP and is a coaxial/tv cable modem.
Could it be problems with onboard NIC?
This exactly same machine with this exactly system with "in discussion", THE SAME ETHERNET CABLE, takes/keeps internet directly/immediately even after reboot/shutdown or whatever I would do, without any manual commands, ONLY MOVING THE ETHERNET CABLE from this "in discussion" problematic router to another router connected to completely another internet connection on another ISP.
The same port on the router the same cable, even from in discussion PROBLEMATIC ROUTER also Windows 7 and Windows 10 connect to the internet instantly/directly without any clicks supplementary clicks, only changing the cable from the Linux machine to the Windows machine.
If you have please any ideas how this could happen, I have just remembered that this in discussion same machine + same OS(Linux no changed configurations) + same Ethernet cable always "received and kept" the internet automatically (no extra manual commands) from all the 3 different models of routers.
All 3 connections and routers were from the same ISP, other than this forth problematic connection and router.
Best wishes.
It seams that the final result, in order to have internet access automatically after reboot/shutdown/sleep with no more manual commands:
/etc/network/interfaces
/etc/rc.local
