I lost my connect some how with the ubuntu machine.

IP Address all 0s
Broadcast all 0s
Default route all 0s
Primary DNS all 0s
Seconday DNS all 0s
Hardware Address 00:15:F2:16:CA

I've tried to plug it in the cable modem by its self but
that didn't help, So how do I get things right?
I can pull these from the window machine

Subnet Mask I have
Default gate way I have

    Log into the ubuntu machine and reconfigure the network. It's possible a patch may have updated drivers and reset it. It's also possible that your network card died. But you'll have to locally be on the machine to make any changes.

    The right way to do it is like kryyst said: restart the network interface either from the command line by running /etc/init.d/networking restart or from the GUI utilities.

    If you don't want to mess with either of those though then rebooting the machine will likely fix the problem. If it doesn't see kryyst's comment about dead network cards. Either that or you've changed your machine or network configuration lately without knowing it.

    as root

    # dhclient


    -- ps , no reboot necessary with this, and isnt /etc/init.d/network restart only for restarting network services? I dont think that script will reset network interface configs but i'll have to double check.
