One, did it recognize the network card (presumably an onboard one) and install/configure the proper drivers?
Two, does the network card have a properly assigned IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server?
Three, is there a problem with the gateway on your LAN?
It shows the etho connection but not sure of anything at this point, I am new to linux and still trying to find my way around,surfed the mint forums but didn't find any answers. I only have one monitor and cable for the two so I may be back and forth.
