I am facing error with my internet connection

Question

Suddenly my connection is lost

What are your DNS servers. try changing them to something like: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 — Ravexina, Apr 11 '17 at 17:45
Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of host google.com and host google.com 8.8.8.8? If neither produce a positive result, please also add the output of ping -c4 8.8.8.8. Thanks. — David Foerster, Apr 11 '17 at 18:07

I've had this issue many times on new machines and I never know how to prevent it. But here's your fix.

Open /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf with root privileges:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

And comment out this line:

dns=dnsmasq

So it reads:

#dns=dnsmasq

Then run:

sudo service network-manager restart

This will cause NetworkManager to update your DNS server, instead of it referencing your machine for the DNS server.

In Ubuntu 18.04 this file doesn't contain this line, alas. – LondonRob Jul 15 '20 at 09:19
