Sounds like a bit of diagnosis is needed. Some first steps: Connect a computer directly to their equipment, and tell us the numerical IP address your computer gets assigned (e.g. run the "ifconfig" command, tell us the "inet" address for the ethernet port). This IP is safe to state in public (it's isolated from everyone by being in a NAT, and your public IP is in your mail headers, anyway). It's likely to be something like: 192.168.1.12 Now, connect a computer directly to your own router, and do the same thing. If you can't spot the right data in the ifconfig output, just copy the whole block. There'll be about 9 lines of data for your ethernet (or WiFi), and another 8 for the local loopback (127.0.0.1) network. The ethernet (or WiFi) data is what we'd like to see. While I can spot problems with IPv4 addresses (e.g. 192.168.1.12) within a LAN, I'm not familiar enough with IPv6 addresses to spot issues (e.g. fe80::8178:8ef9:4a4f:517e), but others will be. NB: In itself, IPv6 can be a problem (if your ISP doesn't support it, but your LAN equipment uses it). Your equipment can try to connect to IPv6 addresses on the internet, expecting to be able to, but hit a solid roadblock at your ISP. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
