Hey i just installed clear os into my pc and it did not pick up my connected ethernet cable going from my pc to my router. It did not pick it up on the installer or the starter gui. The cable is flashing at the back of the pc and my router light for my pc lit up. Just like it did when i had windows. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Login to the graphical console (in your PC). Go to Network->Settings->IP Settings. Edit your LAN interface, make it Static and manually assign it an address.

    Now, you can login to the clearOS computer from any other device connected your network, just by visiting https://the_ip_address_you_entered:81

    If you are in gateway mode, you should have another NIC connected as well. Can you use that to connect to ClearOS? If so, using a tool like PuTTy, can you run the command:
    lspci -knn | grep Eth -A 3
    If you can't, can you get to a text console directly on teh server (alt+f2) and run the command? I don't need the full output but I am trying to see if there is a NIC without a driver (Driver in use is empty). If there is, I need the first line from that block of output (with the word Ethernet in it).

    Did you set the WAN NIC to DHCP or was it not picked up at all during installation?

    Assuming no wireless NIC's, can you also give the output to:
    ifconfig | grep ^e -A 1
