Raspberry Pi connection issue
Post Body

Since I've come to RIT this year, I've had an issue with trying to get my Raspberry Pi to connect to the RIT network. I've had it connected last year, and it's registered on Start - I've even double-checked the HWaddr / MAC Address and saw it's the same.

I've had a thought that it might be because this image I'm using - an offshoot of Raspbian that's supposed to be all set to use Jasper - has DHCP servers installed. I've already asked about those and I've even tried sudo apt-get remove isc-dhcp-server and sudo apt-get remove udhcpd but they still show up in dpkg -l | grep dhcp (might still be a somewhat-Linux-noob) and sudo update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server remove doesn't throw a "cannot find" at me.

Anybody else get an idea why it is that I can't get my Pi on the network?


EDIT 1: I just ran dpkg -r udhcpd isc-dhcp-server and dpkg -p udhcpd isc-dhcp-server and now they don't show up in dpkg -l | grep dhcp. I rebooted the Pi, and it still doesn't have an address on eth0. But something I noticed:

[ OK ] Network Interface Plugging Daemon...skip eth0...done.

That wouldn't have anything to do with why I'm not getting Internet on my Pi, would it?


EDIT 2: HELLO WORLD I'M AN IDJIT
So I felt around the jacks where the Ethernet cable plugs into the wall - turns out there's three identical ports and a cable TV port. Since getting down on my knees and looking at the ports directly wasn't an option (I've got stuff in the way!) I just ran sudo ifup --force eth0 and moved the wall-end of the cable around. Lo and behold, I found a port that worked! Thank you /u/fonzie588 for the help.

Finally, I've got Internet on my Pi!
