Need to restart Xubuntu before successful connection to internet.
Another newbie question.
Sometimes, when I open my pc from cold boot, I cannot access the web. Under firefox >> File menu the "work offline" sub menu is checked. I can only make a connection after restarting. Is there a way to fix this? |
Click on the option to disable Work Offline.
Go to a tty ctrl+alt+f# and login as root. Type ifconfig to see if you are receiving a connection. If not, type ifconfig -a and then ifup NIC# up. You should be online. Also, have you tried any GUI with sudo to enable or renable a connection? Other tools for testing are ping, nmap, traceroute, whois. |

Open Firefox.
Type about:config in the browser bar. Type browser.offline in the search bar located below the browser. Left mouse button double click to change the value. True is on, False is off. |
