Network not starting
I've tried everything I could remember and from the Linux docs site.
ifconfig -a shows eth0, lo, and wlan0 up. I've started the network manager with /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start I've done the same manually for eth0 and wlan0 etc/rc.d/rc.inetd1 eth0 start etc/rc.d/rc.inetd1 wlan0 start I've added both opendns servers to /etc/resolv.conf My Android devices can all use the Internet connection, so it's not likely my cable modem / router. I'm typing this on my tablet.... At this point I've used all I remember and read in the Linux docs, and on my laptop, I still can't connect. I can't even see the router as 198.168.0.1. I need help, please. Thanks |
To see where I can possibly get to, I always start with:
ip r |
And I get:127.0.0.0/8dev lo scope link.
Is there a way to do a hardware diagnosis for the eth0 and wnet0? |
If ip r gives you 127.0.0.0/8
Then you don't have a route to the outside world. The route should be the address of your internet connected device. Does your machine have a ip address? Either fixed or given to it by a dhcp server? Post the output of Code:

I bet they aren't 'RUNNING' (flag), and they don't have a DHCP-provided IP address. Try powering-off both the PC (& router). (IF the wifi actuallly has a [link layer 2 vs. IP layer 3] connection 'UP' with the SSID, my next guess is that [IDK why] the router refuses to give a DHCP to the PC!) Code:
wlp1s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 |
You started but did you run the NetworkManager?
|
Yes, to no avail. Right now I'm just hoping the lighting didn't do any damage.
Thanks |
Like in #6,
What are your wlan flags=? 4163? |

If not, command line to get it? |
Use ip a (or ifconfig -a) and post just the number adjacent to flags=
Preferably the capitalized words inside <> Like: <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> |
Having run some tests from other devices on my LAN, I've come to the conclusion that a recent severe thunderstorm took out first the Cat 6 side via mutual induction, and from there, the WiFi side. So I'm buying (arrives tomorrow) a USB WiFi dongle.
