I'm using dhcp. I don't know if I'm using networkmanager. Once the problem starts I can only ping localhost. I can't even ping the gateway router. My /etc/network/interfaces is as follows: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback address 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
