• Reseting network settings to default in Ubuntu
    5 replies, posted
I've been trying to bridge my xbox 360 to my laptops wireless connection, but when i finally got a connection my laptop started refusing to connect to a network. I've tried both wireless and wired connections but to no luck. How can i reset my networking settings back to default settings?
So, your laptop is connected wirelessly and you want to connect your 360 to the laptop through Ethernet? You need a specific type of Ethernet cable, I think they're called twisted pair cables.
No, I got that working briefly before my laptop fucked up. Now I can't connect to either wireless or wired network connnections. I want to know if there is a way to reset all network configurations to default to undo changes that I made to get the xbox working. Update: I found a forum that said that uninstalling and reinstalling the network manager would fix the problem. [code] sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager net-tools [/code] but now I can't reinstall the packages because now I have no connection to the internet. Is it possible to download the packages and all required libraries to put onto a memory stick?

If you're really determined, [url]http://packages.ubuntu.com/[/url] has all the packages for download. Hopefully you didn't remove the dependencies for networkmanager, because finding those will be a pain.
Nah, I tried plugging the ethernet in and got the same result. I think I'm just going to find a disk and put a fresh copy of ubuntu on there.
Network problems are the only things I have ever encountered with any form of linux. I also got to save that command reinstalling Ubuntu every time there is a trivial network issue usually is good for stress related health.
