I do know if this is the place for this.

I recently installed ubuntu 7.04 on a machine and can't get Internet altough
the local network is working.
I can ping the gateway of the router !

There is a news group called:
alt.os.ubuntu
There you could likely get more help.

If you are using DHCP, I'm not sure what the problem is. If you are
using a static ip address for your box, make sure you have the DNS
info populated under System -> Administration -> Network. If you
don't know the DNS IP addresses, you can get them from your router's
status page. Then either disable the eth0 interface and reenable it,
or reboot. I'm not an expert, but these steps worked for me.

It's actually "alt.os.linux.ubuntu", and one can get Ubuntu help there if
one describes one's problem in detail.

Like the others say, you might be missing a DNS.
Or you may be missing a default gateway.


Try a manual IP address. Make up a suitable one
I use 10.48.0.1
mask 255.0.0.0
default gateway 10.0.0.2
dns server 10.0.0.2

You need to be sure that the mask in the router is the same as yours.

if that works, you can (if you want to) switch back to DHCP and see
what is missing with ifconfig -a
