I'm newbie to Ubuntu and I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 (dual booted with Windows 7). Last few days it was working fine but from today my problem as follow as,

FIREFOX NOT WORKING IN UBUNTU

  • Note: I had firefox only. Not anymore chrome etc...

Its says only,

SERVER NOT FOUND

But I don't see any network connecting problem in Windows 7

Note:

1. using Ethernet.
2. No proxey.
3. Manual method.
4. IPv4 settings.  
5. Wired connection.

update:

ip         -> 198.168.20.93   
netmask    -> 255.255.255.0   
gateway    ->198.168.20.14
dnsserver  ->198.168.20.14

How can I resolve my internet issue?

UPDATE 1:

ubuntu@P3-SD1:~$ ifconfig

  • Did you actually enter .xx in the IP address? That would not be a valid address. Then, 255.255.255.0 is not a valid gateway. In this place you should enter the IP address of your router. In this case, the netmask should be 255.255.255.0. Also, when applying the manual network settings, I think you forgot to enter DNS settings. You need to enter the IP address of at least one (preferably two) DNS servers. – Jos Jul 04 '14 at 11:29
  • @Jos, thanks for very first replay, Dns Server is add as same as the netmask.. – RGK Jul 04 '14 at 11:31
  • @Jos, pls check my update details,... – RGK Jul 04 '14 at 11:38
  • Hi! Can I please ask for the output of 1. ifconfig, 2. route -n , 3. cat /etc/resolv.conf & last 4. ping google.com. ** Edit your question and post those information please. Before, that make sure your firefox settings are been set to use auto detect on pictures as seen in this answer. This is to show you where to find the proxy settings but not doing the same as what mentioned there. – AzkerM Jul 04 '14 at 11:50
  • When you refer to manual method. Are you referring to Firefox connection settings. If so then with no proxy you should have Firefox set to use system or no proxy. – StallionSA Jul 04 '14 at 12:00
  • I see there's something wrong with the DNS. Why is your DNS server says 127.0.1.1 instead the local host which is 127.0.0.1. How did you add IP's manually? using the GUI or using commands (via terminal)?? – AzkerM Jul 04 '14 at 12:27
  • @AzkerM, via terminal only... – RGK Jul 04 '14 at 12:29
  • Can I please have the output of cat /etc/network/interfaces. Do not hide the IP's with x as these are private IP's. And the output does not contain any harmful information though. – AzkerM Jul 04 '14 at 12:37
  • @AzkerM, pls check my update 2: – RGK Jul 04 '14 at 12:42
  • I'm not sure where you exactly updated those manual IP's so to speak. Look at my answer here where I helped to assign IP's along with DNS. May be this could help or please post again. – AzkerM Jul 04 '14 at 12:49
  • @AzkerM, I'm checking that but same result.. – RGK Jul 04 '14 at 13:26
  • finally, its connecting. but, still sometimes connecting and sometime not.... any thanks for useful ideas and suggestions..thank you – RGK Jul 04 '14 at 15:46

I suppose that these addresses starting with 198 are wrong. Try to enter 192 instead of 198.

switch the values of gateway and netmask (are these the same as in windows?).

ip        -> 198.168.20.93
netmask   -> 255.255.255.0 
gateway   -> 198.168.20.01 (router address)
dnsserver -> 198.168.20.01 (router address, also try 8.8.8.8)

Have you tried Automatic (DHCP)?

Finally user300458 finding right one:

ubuntu@P3-SD1:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

but @AzkerM telling some use full and some change with got the solution,

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1

ubuntu@P3-SD1:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet loopback

  • my bad!! 198 looks like 192 for me.. that got me confusing but still if your router was issuing such serious that would've been... This is why I prefer the exact information without editing is posted. So, we will get a better understanding. – AzkerM Jul 04 '14 at 17:04
