Thanks for the input on this one. The very last remark was the key. For some unknown reason the LAN port was disabled in the BIOS. Why would you do this?On 21/05/16 19:45, Richard Brown wrote:Hi This is a link to the server specs http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/getpdf.aspx/c04111079.pdf?ver=17 On 21/05/16 19:30, Richard Brown wrote:Hi Paul On 21/05/16 12:49, Paul Sutton wrote:What output do you get from commands such as lspci, dmesg etc and perhaps inxi -n which should list network related information. (well it does in Linuxmint) Do you get output from ifconfig, does it show anything for eth0 have you tried rebooting Perhaps post output to pastebin then post links here.

Any ideas please RichThanks for the reply. This is the pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/RHq0xAZB Thanks for the help.So, it's an N40L right? You should have one of these: Embedded NC107i PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter As far as I can tell that's based on the Broadcom BCM5723, which should cause the tg3 driver to be loaded by Ubuntu - or any other Linux - automatically (I think). Now it may just be me, but scanning through the dmesg from pastebin I don't see any mention of a network interface other than the realtek wifi usb device you've plugged in. As in, Linux doesn't seem to be detecting it *at all*. I'd flash the BIOS to the latest if you haven't already done so, check the BIOS settings to make sure the onboard network is actually enabled (it can be intentionally disabled) and try again. Over the years I've used tens and tens of these HP Microservers - including the exact model you've got - and I've never had to manually load a ethernet driver. TLDR: either it's disabled in BIOS or there's something broken. Cheers
