Hello Roberto, Thanks for the response. I have nothing of LDAP authentication, Kerberos, Samba, NFS, etc. I'm using my laptop only at home with the box of my ISP. I changed nothing with the box for years. When I fresh installed Debian Stretch, the only thing I did was choosing the wifi of my box with gnome interface and entering the password for it. Hence I assume it is using DHCP. I have no override configuration or anything complicated. Basically, I just use Firefox with my laptop. Sometimes I code C or PHP stuff or compile latex file but that's it. I will take my laptop at work, tomorrow, and try to connect to the wifi network there if you think it might help finding the cause. Thanks, best regards, Laurent
