I have the same problem described. I am using Linux Mint 4.0, based on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon quite recent so. The cause of the problem I can only think of is: I recently reported a bug to Ubuntu. Some program started in the background then. A tab was added, I couldnot refuse that. A screenprint was sent with the bugreport (eog)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/237812 I tried to Configure eth0: avahi, It was not possible: no Interface it said. As I unplugged the cable twice the problem was gone. There was no longer eth0: avahi and my Internet connection worked again. It seems that I should not ask for help of Ubuntu :) I didnot restart my laptop, so I cannot say now if the problem resists. ** Attachment added: "eth0: avahi" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15187223/Schermafdruk-network-admin.png -- [feisty] nm gives me an ip even if there is no cable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
