Hey, a friend of mine recently installed debian 8 on his machine, he had some errors going through the installation, but that's taken care of now. The issue he's facing is whenever he pings something, i.e 8.8.8.8 (google's dns). I only get reply from 192.168.1.127.

That reads like a routing issue. What is the internal IP address of the router in his network, and is that the default route in his Debian 8 machine?
Can he ping the IP address of the router?
Is the network on the machine set up using DHCP (if so what settings does it pick up, and tell us about that DHCP server), or manual (in which case tell us how it is set, and how one or more other machines on that network are set)?
OK, that answers ONE of my questions in a way that tells me nothing without other information.
What is at 192.168.1.127?
Is 192.168.1.1 your router?
How did this router set get into your routing table (did someone set this, or did it pick up form a DHCP server, etc...)
