(maybe OT) (dual boot: fedora-34 and windows-7; gnome)
Usually, I use my home workstation with a direct ethernet connection to my modem. A yellow cable goes from the modem to the yellow receptacle on the back of the tower.
Occasionally, I go through a router. The yellow cable goes from the modem to the yellow receptacle on the back of the router, and a blue cable goes from any of 4 black receptacles on the back of the router to the yellow receptacle on the back of the tower. This has worked fine for a few years now: for the tower (both Fedora and windows) and for my ipad.
But now it does not work: not for Fedora, not for windows, not for the ipad. Fedora shows no connection; I've found no way of diagnosing the problem. The ipad seems to sense the wifi signal, but there's no hint of data (all attempts to use the internet time out); I don't know of any way of diagnosing the problem. In windows, the indicator shows no internet connection; its diagnostic tool says something about "teredo" being disabled? deactivated? by the sysadmin.
Using the router last worked in mid August (fedora-33 on my workstation). I did not attempt to use it between then and this past Wednesday.
The upgrade from f-33 to f-34 occurred between the last time I successfully used the router and the first time it didn't work. Is that just a coincidence, or did the upgrade have something to do with it? How do I get my workstation, ipad, and the router working?
For the f-33 to f-34 upgrade, the tower was connected directly to the modem; the router wasn't even powered up. But might f-34 have done something to the router when I connected them? The router is a D-Link AC1200; it's between 3 and 4 years old.
Thank-you in advance. Bill. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
