All of a sudden my laptop network connection is not working. Network manager says it is connected, but when trying to go online via any web browser, I get no connection and says I am offline. This behavior is present with the wireless and wired internet connections. I can go into a terminal and ping other computers and get a response, however. I have tried going into the network settings in Yast and changing from Network Manger to traditional settings. This doesn’t have any effect. I am running openSUSE 12.3, fully updated and on the latest stable 3.9 kernel. My machine is a Asus Zenbook Ux-31A. Anyone have similar issues? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
You say you can ping “other computers”. Are those other computers in your LAN or on the Internet?
The machines are on the LAN.
Have you tried to ping computers outside in the internet?
I’d try both domain name and IP-address.
e.g.
www.openSUSE.org
130.57.66.6
I once had such an issue and after 1 hour I found out that the DNS server of my provider was shut down for good.
So your connection to the network is OK. Thus we have to look to the connection outside the LAN to the Internet. As a direct try we do a pingto a system on tthe Internet
ping -c1 130.57.66.6
If that works, there might be a DNS problem.
ping -c1 forums.opensuse.org
If the first ping does not work, plase do
netstat -rn
You seem not be very new here, but I take he liberty to tell you that we like those statements and their output and preferable also the prompts before and after, copied/pasted in between CODE tags. And you get the CODE tags by clicking on the # button in the toolbar of the post editor.
Thank you. I will keep that in mind for the future. I am new to the forums coming over from Ubuntu. I ran the commands, however I am getting connectivity currently on my home network. I had issue on my friends network yesterday and my work network earliertoday. I will rerun the commands tomorrow when I’m at work and post the results. Also, I was getting full wireless connectivity with my Galaxy S3 at both locations so I know the network was working at those locations.
When I do understand the above correct in that you do have no problem at home, but you have it at other places/networks, then please also add:
grep -v '^#' /etc/resolv.conf
When I went to work this morning, my laptop connected without issue. Very weird. I have not had the chance to check my laptop on my friends network, but I imagine it will work there as well now. If anything happens again in the next few days I’ll post back. Thanks so much for your time.
You are welcome. In any case you have learnt a few statements to check network functioning. ;(
