However, I recently have tried to set up a connection to a couple of network printers through a wired connection and was not able to succeed. I have Wicd as my network manager, and upon plugging in my ethernet cable, a wired option becomes available for network connections. I choose connect... and wait. Eventually, a pop-up window is displays that states an ip address could not be obtained. I've tried multiple outlets with the same results.
Here's a few CLI outputs for added info:
- Code: Select all

Please let me know if there's any other information I may provide that could be of use.
I appreciate any assistance that anybody may have to help me get my wired connection up and running.
Thanks,
