Broadcom BCM5705 Ethernet adapter recognised in Ubuntu 8.04.2 but no internet access

[Szabó András]

On Ubuntu 8.04.2, installed with Wubi-8.04.1-exe under FAT32 D: partition near Win98SE using Broadcom BCM955705A5D-D Ethernet adapter I do not have broadband internet access through a wired router, even if starting the Win98SE it operates perfectly (the Ubuntu were installed also under windows with the same adapter and WUBI installer from the internet).

In the terminal the following report could be obtained:

bandi@bandi-desktop:~$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:18:0b:08:0c
          inet addr:192.168.2.102 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::210:18ff:fe0b:80c/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:35 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:144 (144.0 B) TX bytes:4917 (4.8 KB)
          Interrupt:10

On other Ubuntu 8.04.2 installed the same way (near WinXP) on an other computer where the report were very similar to the above and the router is the same but the Ethernet adapter is a 3Com make and, on a third other computer connected to the same router with the same setup and Ubuntu 8.04.2 near Win98SE using the integrated Realtek Ethernet adapter all is working perfectly.

I tested the setup with PING and NETSTAT and the results are attached herebelow.
Firefox responds that the web pages could not be accessed, say, no internet access.
Did not help nor ifup eth0, nor ifdown eth0. Negative answers.
Any hints?

It looks like it does not find DNS server. Where to be introduced?
In Firefox I made a copy of error consol that is attached now.

Have also attached another script found in Firefox: feed processor.js

without specifying the ethernet adapter number here you are an other ifconfignew.txt report attached in which, even if it seems that all data required appears no internet access could be achieved. In the same computer and with the same ethernet adapter, on the same HDD, under Win98SE the internet access is perfect! Hi!

Thanks everybody all the help! The problem had been solved, since I throw out the whole computer (Pentium III with 500 MByte CPU) with the accessories in the various slots and have acquired a new one. I am now happy, everything works fine.
