Re: not finding internet connection

The weird thing is, when its physically connected ( modem status light
says connection to pc is there ) ubuntu says connected as well but no
internet can be reached.

Clicking on the network manager will happily disconnect/reconnect but
no internet is available.

So its connecting to the modem, just not finding ( or being given ) and
internet connection for some reason.

Also when it says it 'is' connected you still cant login to the modem
interface via a browser so its definitely not hooked up.

Could be a modem issue I suppose.

I'll take another one out to try today.

Normally you can just click on the network manager icon then choose
the network to connect to. It will ask for a password if needed (e.g.
for wpa) and then connect.

If the ADSL is not up the network connection should at least be
configured via DHCP and work onces the ADSL/PPP is up. If the DHCP
server is not starting before the PC (seems unlikely) then maybe you
should look at setting the IP address statically.

Cheer,

Another one from the downright weird zone of linux computing........

Is there any way to make ubuntu automatically re-scan for internet
connections once its booted up and not found one?

The scenario - if no connection is present at boot up ( the modem/router
hasn't had time to connect or such ) ubuntu caries on with booting and
refuses to find any connection until its shutdown/restarted.
