I left Ubuntu and came back after a while so I don't remember much. Now I'm trying to get my IP address. All I'm getting from running ifconfig
is
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3c:97:0e:11:22:0d
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:20 Memory:f2500000-f2520000
(BTW, I don't really understand what UP BROADCAST MULTICAST
means.)
$ sudo ifdown eth0
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
Then
$ sudo ifup eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
And finally 2:
$ ip addr show eth0
eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN
group default qlen 1000 link/ether 3c:97:0e:11:22:0d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
