in your terminal type ifconfig and post output.. and also install pppoeconf by typing sudo apt-get install pppoeconf

ipconfig will not work on ubuntu, terminal can not understand DOS commands

go to terminal and use

netstat -r grep default
or
ip neigh

Hello

Below is the output of ifconfig on my system
Kindly check if there is any update required.

Also install command did not have any effect as it
was already there.

I am on Latest Ubuntu 8.x version. Is there any known problems with that?

shouldnt be a problem.. have you entered 192.168.1.100 manually??have you set gateway as 192.168.1.1?

Hi

Basically this info was entered in the dialog box in ubuntu network config
window.(CLick manual config and add details for wired connections)

did you set the gateway ip as 192.168.1.1 when you entered manually?

yes correct.
