eth0 NO-CARRIER, ifconfig shows no IP address

I left Ubuntu and came back after a while so I don't remember much. Now I'm trying to get my IP address. All I'm getting from running ifconfig is



eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 3c:97:0e:11:22:0d  
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:20 Memory:f2500000-f2520000


(BTW, I don't really understand what UP BROADCAST MULTICAST means.)



 $ sudo ifdown eth0 
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured


Then



$ sudo ifup eth0
Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0


And finally 2:



$ ip addr show eth0
eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN
group default qlen 1000 link/ether 3c:97:0e:11:22:0d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

  • Close voters this question is not a duplicate of Command for determining my public IP?. In that question the computer already has a local IP address and is trying to find the IP they have on the internet which may have been changed by the router or ISP. This question is about why they can't get any IP address.

  • NO-CARRIER means that the network jack detects no signal on the line. This is usually because the network cable is unplugged or broken. In rare cases it can also be hardware failure or a driver bug. Have you checked the cables and rebooted the system?

You might just try setting your IP address to something on your subnet. Assuming you're on a 192.168.1.255 network, try this:



ifconfig address 192.168.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1


Replace 192.168.1.50 with the IP you want to get, and replace 192.168.1.1 with the IP address of your router/gateway.



I have had a similar problem, and this solved it for me.
