Thread: How to establish broadband connection in ubuntu

Hi guys, I’m having ubuntu installed on my pc along with windows xp. I’hv brought new broadband connection, it is working fine in the windows but how to get connected in ubuntu, i dont know plz guide me….The connection is through the lan cable through modem.

If you have to connect via lan and want to assign a static ip, then just do this–
1–Go to the upper right part of your panel,click on your network icon and click on edit connections.
2–A new window will be popped out,just click on the ADD button.
3–Now you have to write the MAC address of your pc,just put the cursor on the blank field and it will display the format in which you have to write this.
4–You can get to know your MAC address just by typing ifconfig-a…in eth0 the hardware address will be given,it is your mac address.
5–Just come to IPV4 tab,set the method manually and fill your ip,subnet mask and gateway and dns..
6–Now click on apply.

You can also do this thing with the help of the terminal but first try with gui..
