Re: yikes! no internet

and here is the reason why I own my own cable modem. Sure, Cox isn't going to do a lot of stuff without giving me notice first, but I would rather have full control. I also dispensed with the original OS on that device and put in a DD-Wrt derivative that allows me far more control of the

Re: yikes! no internet

Yeah, good luck getting help with linux. You probably want to have your network interface get it's ip address via dhcp and you want your /etc/resolv.conf generated automatically by resolvconf. If you don't use dhcp and resolvconf, you have to configure the dns server yourself. You should do

Re: yikes! no internet

Kelly again, I suspect that the ISP changed the gateway so you have to access it from a central control pannel now. You would have to call and ask them. On Sat, 6 May 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: I think you fixed it whoever you are. There was just that one line in that

Re: yikes! no internet

I am not sure, but it seems your gateway is not running a nameserver now. What you need to do is to edit your interfaces file to remove the 192.168.x.x address from that file so you have only the 8.8.x.x addresses in it. btw, I am Kelly Prescott. On Sat, 6 May 2017, Linux for blind general

Re: yikes! no internet

It looks like your connection is fine... 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

Re: yikes! no internet

This static ip system worked fine until yesterday. Been using it for 20 years. I am thinking it may be a gateway upgrade like somebody suggested. I will try to get somebody from the company to come help. Spectrum just bought brighthouse, so thy are probably fiddling with everything making those

Re: yikes! no internet

the problem is that the interfaces file could be correct, and the interface broken at the output port (this has happened enough that it is not an uncommon problem). All of the functions inside the port could be working, but no output to anywhere else. I have seen this happen on switches and

Re: yikes! no internet

if you can access ssh, then the network is working. try the following: ip route 0.0.0.0/0 via 192.168.1.1 replace 192.168.1.1 with the address of your gateway. then try to ping something like 8.8.8.8 ping 8.8.8.8 use ctrl-c to stop it. On Fri, 5 May 2017, Linux for blind general discussion

Re: yikes! no internet

My theory is that an ubuntu upgrade broke networking. Do you have auto-updates enabled? It probably goes without saying but after you power cycle your gateway, you should probably reboot your ubuntu machine too. And then make sure the cable is well seated on both ends. Even if it's clicked

Re: yikes! no internet

ok, reading through this, if the gateway is an integrated cable modem and router, it may be that they upgraded the firmware on you. That being the case, you will have to do a full on reset. this will mean losing your username/password and other settings, but it will clean the slate and allow

Re: yikes! no internet

I haven't had the best of luck with gateways either. I hope you can get this solved. I used to do internet tech support, but everything I could suggest to you has already been suggested. I'm not sure what the linux version of the old windows commands ipconfig release and ipconfig renew might

Re: yikes! no internet

Hi, I have rebooted the router-modem combination or gateway as they call it. I know internet is working because I am using it with this ipad. The ubuntu pc is wired, not wireless. It is possible the cable may have come loose, but that would not explain why i can no longer log into the router

Re: yikes! no internet

This is Tony Baechler. First, I would reset your router and modem. Unplug both and wait at least 30 seconds. Plug in the router first and wait 30 seconds. Then plug in the modem. If you haven't rebooted in a while, try completely shutting down the machine and rebooting. If that doesn't

Re: yikes! no internet

Sent from TypeApp for iPhoneI suspect your router got reset to its default password. To log into your router you'll need to look your router's password up on the internet unless you find the default password was written on your router. Try logging in with that password and if tht doesn't work

Hello, Suddenly my linux desktop has no inteqnet at all. I am doing this email with an ipad. Wifi and the lan seem ok; the ipad has no problem connecting. Where should I begin to find what is wrong? Also i can no longer login to my router with the ipad. I get this error message: Error:
