I'll try to get them in order and lets see where you are with this, okay? 1. Ping the gateway? 2. Ping the DNS server. (I just tested that NS and it doesn't do recursion, so that's possibly your problem.) 3. Ping outside IP address. (I almost always use <a href="http://4.2.2.2" target="_blank">4.2.2.2</a> for that, it's a NS, but it works) What are the results of those tests. Just so we can keep up with things. It's possible, but not likely it's something silly like a duplex mismatch between your NIC and the switch/router it's connected to as well. I've seen that a lot. -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> </div>
