and my Wired Connection:Address:dhcp, but when i clicked on properties it does not show an IP address or subnet Mask or gateway address all these fields are empty.

In my Network tools I have both a loop back interface and Ethernet interface (eth0) but all the interface information on both of them says not available. Also, on the Network Device when i click on Ethernet Interface (eth0) the configure button is disabled....

Also i did this,

I ran the following commands:

rbaroudi@RAF:~$ ifstatus eth0
The program 'ifstatus' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ifplugd
You will have to enable component called 'universe'
bash: ifstatus: command not found
rbaroudi@RAF:~$ ifstatus eth1

also, my Nic is not wireless its an Ethernet port with wired LAN..

I believe that my cable is good i just tested it, but i believe its a routing problem because the IP address and subnet mask fields are empty, and i dont know what to type in them.

Please, consider helping me with this....i tried the forums for over a month and no one could help me with it, so please, if you got time i would certainly appreciate it. Thanks again :)
