How do I connect to the Internet?

[abrianb]

I use an IBM T-20 running Ubuntu 7.10 at work. The internet connection there is as follows: an AT&T dsl with 5 static IPs, there is a regular phone jack with a connection to a Netopia 4 port router part #3346N-002. The connection works fine for the system at work and has worked for windows laptops. I have not been able to get my linux machine to hook-up.I can use this same machine on a DSL line that is not using static multiple IPs.Can anyone help me get this hooked up? I have the sheet from AT&T that lists all information on the connection.
Thanks

Not really sure where your problem is (do you try to set a static ip already or what?), but there's a handy "Networking" icon under the System menu that would be easier than ifconfig.

1. Please post output of ifconfig eth0 (depends on your interface number)
2. Please post output of lspci | grep Eth
3. Please post output of route -n
4. Please post output of cat /etc/resolv.conf
5. Please post output of cat /etc/network/interfaces
6. Please post output of cat /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

Lets try to see what is going on ...
