Fedora Networking :: Ethernet - Suddenly Lost Internet Connection

Jun 16, 2011

I installed Fedora today, and I automatically had internet connection, I never had do configure anything myself. Then, I was playing around with VPN for a good while (trying to set up the VPN connection to my University), and now, I suddenly lost my connection to the internet!

But only Fedora can't connect anymore, the Windows PC has connection as well as my Mac OS X (I dualboot Linux on my MacBook). The Ethernet connection works as well, when I unplug the cable, Fedora gives me a message, but I just don't get into the internet!

Does anyone have an ides what I have to do? I don't know anything about network connections and I'm new to Linux...

I already restarted the Computer, but that didn't work, and Google didn't really held either.

Networking :: Lucid Lynx Suddenly Lost Connection ?

Mar 5, 2011

All of a sudden without rhyme or reason, My Lucid Lynx install stopped connecting to my network. This was without any intervention from me as I did not modify install or change anything prior to this happening.

What I have gathered so far is that upon initial boot eth0 seems to always be disabled. So I ifconfig eth0 up to bring it back online. All the settings in the network applet seem to be intact for my manual network that has DHCP disabled. Let me re-iterate that these settings worked fine for months then all of a sudden something went belly up. The same machine will connect fine with the same settings from within Win7.

ifconfig command shows both eth0 and the loopback interface but eth0 never manages to secure the 192.168.1.3 address that it should have. ping 192.168.1.1 returns "Network unreachable" so it appears the connection is being cut off at the machine and not the router. I did check to make sure the connection was even recognized and it sees the wired connection going to the router, but nothing else.

/etc/network/interfaces only shows two lines regarding the loopback interface and nothing else; eth0 seems non-existant within this file which I find odd.

Ubuntu Networking :: Ethernet Connection Suddenly Slow - Dns Problem / Troubleshoot This?

Apr 1, 2011

A couple of days ago my internet connections suddenly became very slow/intermittant.

I thought the problem was at my DSL provider but after more checking the problem seems to be in Ubuntu/Linux somewhere.

Reason: I can dual boot with windows 7 and have no ptoblem at all. Also I tried a Ubuntu laptop on the same router ethernet port and it also works fine. So its not my hardware or my provider, and its not a general Ubuntu problem either.

There are no error messages in any of the /var/log files and ifconfig looks normal.

It seems to be a DNS problem as it's the initial connection to a host which often times out. If I get a connection, I can e.g. stream an radio station fine.

If I try to e.g. traceroute any host it times out (no reply).

Ubuntu 10.10 is totally up to date as of today.

I'm stuck! How can I troubleshoot this to find the cause?

Ubuntu Networking :: Looking To Share Internet Connection Through Ethernet

Aug 5, 2011

After some fiddling around, I have come to the conclusion my current wifi access point hates my other computer's Broadcom chip or the drivers thereof. So, my current idea is as follows. I would like to use my netbook to connect to the wireless network, and then connect my other computer to it through ethernet. My netbook is dual boot XP and Ubuntu (think Ubuntu is a version behind) and I would be fine to set up this sharing in either and just leave it on as a repeater station. My other computer is dual boot XP and Fedora and I would prefer this work to allow me to have network in both. I have a straight-through cable and have verified that my network card supports the automatic crossing over behavior.

Ubuntu Networking :: Lost Internet Connection - Now Can't Get It Back

Jan 23, 2010

I am running ubuntu 9.1 on a Dell Dimension 2400. After installing ubuntu on the pc, it was automatically recognizing my router and connecting to the internet fine via ethernet. Then, my roommate unplugged the router and it won't recognize it. I can't access my router settings, and ubuntu is recognizing it as "inactive" but every other computer in the apartment runs fine. My PC uses a broadcom ethernet controller, and my router is a Linksys wireless N.

Ubuntu Networking :: Lost Internet Connection When Upgraded 8.04 To 10.04?

Jul 25, 2011

I was running 8.04 and my internet (Comcast) comes via a Motorola SB5100 cable modem then into a Netgear router then into my Dell. When I upgraded to 10.04 yesterday, I lost the wired connection. The wireless connection still works fine, but I have not been able to get a wired connection. Also, most online solutions reference the Network Manager, which is nowhere to be found.

Anyone have any solutions? I would be willing to revert to 8.04 if needed, as that worked fine, and obviously I quite regret the upgrade!

Networking :: Detecting And Logging Lost Internet Connection?

Dec 8, 2010

We have an Asterisk machine that we suspect periodically loses internet connectivity, causing all calls to drop. First, would this sort of thing be logged anywhere out of the box? I haven't noticed anything in /var/log, but that doesn't mean it's not there. If this is not typically logged, how I might go about logging it? I'm currently running a bash script from cron every 5 or 10 minutes which pings Google and writes success or failure messages to a log file. This works fine for extended outages, but if the internet connection drops and comes back between cron runs, it won't be caught.

Ubuntu Networking :: Internet Access Allowed When VPN Connection Lost?

Mar 16, 2010

As I view it, Ubuntu has a great security risk in that it still allows internet access when the VPN connection has been lost, for whatever reason. As it is now, when the VPN connection fails you get bumped back to using your regular IP, and whatever you are doing becomes transparent to anyone watching. This is simply unacceptable for an allegedly secure platform. Does anyone know of a way to fix this with a script/program, or is there a distribution/OS that allows this? Windows re-dials the vpn automatically, but still allows internet access in the mean time.

Ubuntu Networking :: Internet Connection Lost After 10 Minutes Surfing

Apr 23, 2011

I do have a problem with my internet connection at home, I've a Huawei router and ubuntu 10. When I connect to the internet whether wireless or wired I become able to surf the internet for less than 10 min then it cuts off! and to be able to surf it again I need to restart the whole system!

I used this command to restart the networking but in vain
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

On windows I do not face this problem with the same internet connection. I do not face it either when I'm using my campus wireless connections using ubuntu/windows!, so the problem is related to my home connection+ my OS.

Ubuntu Networking :: Lost Internet Connection - Firefox Displays Server Not Found Page

Apr 6, 2011

I have been using ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my Dell Mini 9 for the past few month without any problem; it connects wirelessly to the internet via a wireless router. Yesterday in the middle of web surfing, suddently firefox cannot see any website outside of my home network (Firefox displays Server not found page). No help when I rebooted a few times and connect to my home network via wireless or even wire cable; it can access files in my network file server (DNS-321) but not the internet. My desktop computer running Windows Vista and ASUS media player has no problem accessing the internet.

Ubuntu Networking :: Ethernet Just Stopped Working Suddenly?

Aug 12, 2010

Version: Ubuntu 10.04 Relavant hardware: P5QL Pro built-in ethernet, cable modem with linksys wireless-G router (although problem is with ethernet connection, not wireless)

One minute my ethernet was working, and the next it stopped working. The only thing that I did between it working and not working was install electricsheep from Synaptic and then I shut down the computer. When I restarted a bit later, no ethernet connection shows up.

I checked the cables, made sure they are in tight.

My laptop connects using the same ethernet cable fine. So its not the cable or the router.

I reset the router and the computer at the same time. Still doesn't work.

I don't know where to even start with troubleshooting this sort of problem. Everything to the extent of my computer knowledge seems to be working fine.

Fedora Networking :: Ethernet Connection Sabotaged By SELinux - AVC Denial ?

May 26, 2009

I installed Fedora to a desktop with a hardwire ethernet connection to my router. When I ran the live CD it connected fine. When I boot now I have no connection, and when I try to connect I get this "AVC Denial" message and some mumbojumbo about SELinux is preventing nm-dhcp-client to read libdbus-glib blah blah blah. The troubleshooter app is no help to me at all. This is extremely frustrating. A couple of weeks ago I did an install to this same computer and had no problem at all. The only difference is that this time I wiped all of my old distros from the HD, and made separate /, /var, /boot, /tmp, and /usr partitions (in addition to the old /home partition which I kept.) I don't know how that could be causing this problem, but it's the only thing different about this install. Should I just go back to putting everything but /home on one partition?

Ubuntu Networking :: Suddenly Lost Ability To View Webpages

Apr 3, 2010

I should have poked around a little harder but I remember that I was experimenting with an ssh proxy when a the hotel. Apparently when I setup the proxy settings in Chrome I must have clicked the "set system wide" button and set every browser to browse through the proxy. I even had to enter a password to change that setting. I thought I changed it back after experimenting but apparently I did not. Today I just started my Ubuntu 9.04 laptop to find that I can not browse web pages. I tried multiple browsers including Chrome, Firefox and Epiphany. Each one gives me the same error message:

Epiphany:
"www.google.com" dropped the connection.
The server dropped the connection before any data could be read. The server may be busy or you may have a network connection problem. Try again later.

Firefox:
Connection Interrupted.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

Chrome:
This webpage is not available.
The webpage at [URL] might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

So now most of you are ready to ask me to check my connection using ifconfig etc. But here is the rub: I can download updates, install software using apt-get, ssh, scp, download files with wget, ping web sites and browse the net using the text browser Links (so pretty much everything else works.) I cant figure out what has happened. The last time I used my laptop was this past weekend in a hotel using their wireless and then connecting using a captive portal. And everything worked fine.

My only theory is the hotels captive portal might have messed up something but what that is is beyond me. I tried using both wired and wireless connections and still the same thing. Re booting does nothing. So in order to surf the web I have to use my virtual box Windows XP image. So here I am typing this message in Firefox on windows XP in a virtual machine on my Ubuntu laptop that for some reason will not let me view websites.

Fedora Networking :: Ethernet Connection Stopped Working - Cannot Find Server

Jul 23, 2009

After using fedora 11 for a month or two now the ethernet gave out on me tonight. However if I switch to my ubuntu or windows XP install it runs fine. I made no recent changes to network connections, and no installed programs that should effect it.

kernel version: 2.6.29.6-213.fc11
default connection: eth0(and only connection)
ifcfg-eth0:
# Networking Interface
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:1F:C6:DB:05:0C
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
NAME=eth0
UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03
DNS1=192.168.1.254
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes

I have tried, restarting, older kernel, restarting services, and clearing the DNS Cache. The specific error I get is that "Firefox can't find the server", and most other applications return similar. I can however ping websites still. All other computers on the network are running fine, and booting into another system the internet will work. Just not for fedora.
