Guys, I just got mine but I am not able to get it online.

I plugged in the Ethernet cable, but there is no indication of Raspbian being online. Tried accessing www.google.com using Midori but it doesn't work.

I used the Internet cable and slot previously used for my current HyppTV setup (the Ethernet cable used to connect the wireless router to the HyppTV box). HyppTV works fine, even now. I tried changing cables and slots... doesn't work as well.

Please help... if it cannot go online then I can't download any applications.

I tried changing slots from the router to the modem. No connection.

Weird thing is that I logged into the modem and can see raspberrypi as one of the connected clients. Just no Internet connection.

When I plug the cable into my laptop, the laptop shows limited or no connectivity.

IP no conflict... only about 5 connected devices (incl RPi) at that point of time.

Hi munk3y

The Pi is a Linux box. Don't let the minimalist design fool you. It has the basic things in a box you need for a computer. Just attach a USB keyboard/mouse, power it up and you are good to go!

Thanks friends! It's back up online. I have no idea why, I think it's the problem with my router.
