Zotac Geforce 9300-ITX no Ethernet

Hello,

I have the board mentioned above, it has the nVidia ION (MCP79) chipset. I'm not able to get internet working, although it shows eth0 in the list. I'm using a static adress with two DNS servers. But I'm not able to ping the broadcast address (192.168.0.255), all packages are lost. If tried some commands mentioned in Ubuntu forums, but nothing worked. In the connection information there is no driver listed, and the speed is just 100 MB/s.

The curious thing is, I probably had Internet in Zorin on this machine. Or was it on one of my other systems? Well, even in OSx86 Leopard and Mavericks is working internet, the network at full 1000 Mbit speed.

I would be appreciated for some help, especcially because I have no experience with Linux.

Greets, naquaada.

Hi, please be patient - hopefully wolfman or madvinegar will be able to assist.

Hi,

is your network manager active? (Enabled), right click the toolbar network icon and check:



Disable it and then wait a few seconds and enable it again, make sure you run a full system update once you have network access:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

Run these command and they should help get us some data;

Code:

ip addr
ip route show
ethtool eth0
ping -c 10 -i 0.2 $( ip route | grep default | cur -d' ' -f 3) #This should ping your default gateway


Most network devices don't respond to a broadcast ping, nothing in my network does.

Code:

$ ping 192.168.110.255 -c 10 -b
WARNING: pinging broadcast address

##But I am online

After you get that data back to us it should give us alot of information and hopefully a direction on where to start looking.

Don't worry about the IP address showing it is a private IP address (Based on you stating you pinged the broadcast at 192.168.0.255), so the private address is not going to be reachable from the internet =]

Hope to hear from you soon.
