ok so one day i just used swaret and did some updates and the next day internet won't work
i tried ping and it said network unreacheble
what should i do? can anybody help me please
are you using a dhcp to connect?
have you tried re configuring your net with netconfig?
have you tried doing: ifconfig eth0 down, then ifconfig eth0 up?
dhcpcd -n?
have you tried a reboot after the swaret? Usually after a swaret, always reboot. or nothing will work.
now i've tried to see what was wrong with the connection so i tried ifconfig and it only gave me loopback so i did /sbin/dhclient-script and then my eth0 came back in ifconfig but still no internet but when i did swaret it started but it said failed failed
and ping still says nework is unreacheble
i use u di-604 router with a dhc and a dynamic ip
but i do'nt get it everything workt just fine oh and i did restore my xauth the day before but still my internet worked?
edit
