So I moved and forgot to change the static ip on my tower to dynamic and am now paying the price. I tried editing the network.cfg file to both a dynamic and static address. When I ifconfig i get a 127.0.0.1. I started with a switch in between the router but since moved it straight to the router. I have attached some logs.

Here is a dynamic

Just so you can talk to it from a browser, login at the console and...

 

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.222 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

route add default gw 192.168.0.1

 

ifconfig eth0 should now match

 

Of course, set 192.168.0.222 to whatever you need and 192.168.0.1 to your router.

Thanks. My nic was actually disabled in the bios and once I resolved that I did your steps and got it working
