I am using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
Strangely I cannot connect to the internet in any way other than bit torrent. It doesn’t matter if bit torrent is on or off. I cannot get anything on the browsers Chrome or Firefox. I cannot ping www.google.com on the command line. This is a dual boot machine and Windows runs just fine with internet when booted. Maybe the router has problems giving this boot an IP address or something. Maybe I should connect with a static IP address, but I don’t know how to do that. Any ideas?

I have tried a wired connection with Ubuntu. I have tried a WiFi connection with Ubuntu. No internet. Except for Bit Torrent.

The internet used to work. I had bit torrent on there for a long time. I don’t know why it stopped working. Nothing corresponded to it not working.

  • Open a web browser: Try address http://1.1.1.1 . Does it connect? – user535733 Nov 12 '21 at 16:36

    Also, try pinging google.com instead. And try simply rebooting your router. – user535733 Nov 12 '21 at 16:39
  • Pinging Google got nothing. When I was on WiFi only I was able to ping 8.8.8.8 so I followed instructions of the top answer here , set the name server to 8.8.8.8 and kind of got it working for a minute. Though I would like it to work with the wired connection. – Ant Nov 12 '21 at 16:49
  • what is the output of sudo lshw -c network && ip a && ip route && cat /etc/resolv.conf – AlexOnLinux Nov 22 '21 at 11:13
  • @AlexOnLinux I'll let your know the next time I get on that machine. I think it was an address that started with 127 and I changed it to 8.8.8.8 to get it working over WiFi. I could not get it working over the wired ethernet. – Ant Nov 22 '21 at 14:56
  • @AlexOnLinux I changed it to 8.8.8.8. This is the file I changed with help of this answer – Ant Nov 24 '21 at 20:55
