No internet access on Linux Mint via wired connection
Samuel le DX -  
Hello,
I have an SSD with Windows 7 Home Premium on it and an HHD (1 tera) with a 600Gb NTFS partition and a 400Gb EXT4 with Linux on it. This is a desktop PC connected via an Ethernet cable. I don’t know anything about networks.

The problem: When I am on Windows, I have Internet, everything works. When I am on Linux, the cable is detected but there is no Internet. It tells me that I have a wired connection, but when I try to go online, no way.

Thanks to those who take the time to help me.

PS: I also have a laptop running Linux Mint with Wi-Fi that works.

Configuration: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon
Intel Core i5-4670k
NVDIA GeForce GTX 770
8Gb ram

        The problem has resurfaced; I don't understand, everything was fine last night and now the same issue. I've tried to do the same steps again, but nothing works :/

        Do I just enter this in a normal terminal or do I need to do other things first?

      4. zipe31 Contributor
        @Samuel le DXJust that. The first command (before the semicolon) unloads the driver and the second reloads it.

        Root privileges (sudo) are required.

        Ok, so the module wasn't loaded ;-(

        Does your network interface work after the second command?

        @Samuel le DXCheck that your module is loaded correctly:
         
        lsmod | grep 'e1000e'

        Also, check that your module is not blacklisted:
         
        grep 'e1000e' /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

      4. Samuel le DX Author
        When I run these commands, it goes to the next line and nothing happens. Except for lsmod, there's this

        @Samuel le DXFor the first command, it should have displayed: 
        e1000e 226396 0
        since this result does appear in your listing, proving that the module is properly loaded.

        If the second one returns nothing, that's normal, and that's a good thing; it means the module is not in the blacklist.

        As for why your connection is not happening anymore, I have no idea ;-(

        And despite that, you still don't have a connection?

        What does the command

        return you?

    6. Samuel le DX Author
      No, I still don't have a connection, but it's strange because sometimes about one restart out of five it tells me that there's a connection, but when I try to go on the Internet or on a network I can't.

      1. zipe31 Contributor
        You said strange, how strange... ;-))

        Jokes aside, your thing is really weird ;-\

        You should start on a Live CD (or USB) and test if you have a connection or not in a Live session, so we can determine if it's a hardware issue related to the installed distro or a problem specifically related to the installed distribution itself.

      So, I started on 3 different USB sticks: the first one with Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon had no internet, the second one with Xubuntu had the same problem, and the third one with Ubuntu—miraculously it worked. So I removed the USB stick and went back to my normal Linux Mint, and everything worked—' I don't think I'll ever understand the logic of computing. Let's hope it stays that way!
