This happens quite often for me: I turn on my GNU/Linux boxen and try to browse the web. Firefox takes a long time start up, then when I enter something like google.com, it takes a while to get there, or even fails to get there. Gmail would be working, then at some point says that the internet isn’t reachable.
In these moments, I ping google.com from console and see this:
PING google.com(sfo07s13-in-x0e.1e100.net (2607:f8b0:4005:804::200e)) 56 data bytes
which just hangs there until I kill the command and see something like this:
— google.com ping statistics —
299 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 305134ms
If I ping 1.1.1.1 or ping 8.8.8.8, it works fine, with times around 10ms.
Currently, Firefox is working, but the pings from console are not. It’s very confusing.
The internet speeds, when working is great, but these network stalls/unreachable moments make the internet annoying.
This only seems to happen with the desktop GNU/Linux boxen, which is hardwired to the router. Mobiles on wi-fi seem to be fine.
/etc/resolve.conf file is autogenerated by netconfig. Is it a DNS issue? Should I add some nameservers to /etc/sysconfig/network/config?
Any ideas? Anything more details I need to provide?
Thanks!
