Lost internet connection

[stevef]

Jim,

It used to be on my router but I have tried to shift to one online because the router is COMCAST and I don't trust them.

I can't for the moment think how a remote online DHCP server would work for a typical home network as DHCP is a local protocol used to allocate valid IP addresses to a system on a LAN.  Perhaps you are confusing DHCP and DNS ?

1.1.1.1

Are you sure about this ?  If this is really the address used by the router, then your Linux system cannot communicate with the router as they appear to be on different subnets.  This would explain your symptoms.

I have tried both ways.  With the same result.

I edited it manually with text editor.

Would you be prepared to undo all the manual changes you've made and set your ethernet port to use DHCP to pick up an address from the router ?  If you cannot recall all the manual changes you've made, switching to DHCP may be enough by itself, but cannot be sure.

Just for comparison, are you doing similar changes when you boot the system as Windows ?
Please run Windows, open a terminal and post the results of

Code:

ipconfig

Code:

route print

Code:

arp -a
