I had same problem with a clean install of 8.10 onto my laptop.  It was
the ipv4 settings that were setup incorrectly - in my case 'Shared To
Other Computers'.  I changed this to 'DHCP - Automatic' and it all
worked fine.

Right click on your network icon -> edit connections 

Select network -> Edit -> IPv4 Settings -> Method Pulldown

Worked for me :-)

TTFN
