[SOLVED] Connected to network but can't reach internet

#1 Post by Cupain7 »

I use Debian 10 on a desktop PC with ethernet connection. This morning, my house has been connected to the fibre instead of ADSL.
Since, Debian connects to the ethernet network (1000MGB/s max), but I can't reach internet.
I tried with Windows 10 (Dual boot), it works. I tried to connect the ethernet cable on my laptop with debian 10, it works...
So the problem is on my Debian PC, but I don't know where to check !
Can someone help me ?

I tried sharing my phone connection via USB, and it's the same : Debian connects to the phone network, but can't reach internet.
So, the installation of the fibre should be a coincidence. I have something soft-locked...
Something like it already happened some years ago : it was because I didn't correctly closed a VPN connection. I checked this time, I don't have VPN enabled.

The problem could come from here : after the fibre installation, i started my computer, and Debian asked me for restarting it to perform an important update. Which sounds strange, because it didn't have internet access. Maybe an update was processing, and didn't finish correctly ?

Code: Select all

default via 192.168.1.254

Code: Select all

nameserver 192.168.1.1
Usually, the internet box acts as default router and DNS server, so both settings are the same address.
Maybe either setting has been fixed in the network configuration (resolvconf, NetworkManager, /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf...).

You're perfectly right, I fixed my ip adress once, when i hosted a server.
I don't remember where, but i'm checking ! Thanks

OK, I changed nameserver in resolv.conf for FrenchDataNetwork DNS instead of 192.168.1
Not sure to understand why, but it works. I don't know why I put 192.168.1 whereas I wanted to avoid my provider DNS ! Is that automatic, or i just forgot why i did that ?
Nevermind, thank you for your help !

You should actually read the content of that file. The comment at the top makes a useful observation. Hint: edit /etc/resolvconf.conf instead.

Unless the DNS address was pushed to resolvconf by one of its clients (networking, NetworkManager, dhclient...)
