So here I am, minding my own business in Ubuntu 10.10, when Ubuntu tells me it wants to update. After I restart, I can't connect to the internet. (Note: this may or may not be Ubuntu's fault, could just be coincidence)
I figure it's just the glitchy nature of linux, and so I reboot. Still no internet. I boot into Windows 7. No internet.
I figure it's a problem with my network layout (I'm using an old Dlink as a bridge from my Linksys). But no, the Mac Mini and Xbox both using that same bridge are fine.
So I try a different cable, and it still doesn't work. I can't even get it to connect simply using a wireless gaming adapter. Is the ethernet port on my computer totally dead?
