I think you fixed it whoever you are. There was just that one line in that file. When I commented it out the problem remained the same, but wheen I put 8.8.8.8 in there everything seems to be working. Do you have any idea what happened? I did not change anything that I know of. And I still cannot log into my gateway with the ipad.

You probably have a nameserver problem. you can ping 8.8.8.8 which is the google nameserver. edit your /etc/resolv.conf file and comment out the 192.168 server by putting a number sign # in front of the nameserver 192.168.x.x line. then try to ping something. example: ping google.com > On Fri, 5 May 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > > This static ip system worked fine until yesterday.
