Can't connect through wired connection

  • 772

I used to be able to connect to wireless networks and wired networks (although my wireless network had problems; see my other question). Then, one day, the section Wired Networks just disappeared! And when I plugin a cable, nothing happens! Why?

Despite having worked a while, the answer below seems to have stopped working for me. Therefore, my question is still active, and I anxiously await any replies.

    Edit /etc/network/interfaces and make sure it looks like this:

    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0

    It sounds like it's blocking network-manager from configuring the interface.
