Re: [Question #77539]: cannot connect to public wirelles networks

 

Question #77539 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77539

    Status: Open => Needs information

rrnwexec requested for more information:
Ok. It appears that you are connected to a wireless network on your eth1
(wireless interface) and also that you have an IP address. (Both good).

Next, test your DNS settings by typing the following in a terminal:

   dig google.com

You should get a result similar to this:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
google.com.		185	IN	A	74.125.67.100
google.com.		185	IN	A	74.125.127.100
google.com.		185	IN	A	74.125.45.100

If you do not get a result similar to above, it is likely that your DNS
settings are incorrect. Type the following command in your terminal:

ping -c 1 74.125.67.100

You should get an output similar to this:
PING 74.125.67.100 (74.125.67.100) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 74.125.67.100: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=86.3 ms

--- 74.125.67.100 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 86.335/86.335/86.335/0.000 ms

If that command works, but the 'dig' command did not, then it's even
more likely to be DNS issues. If the ping command also did not work,
then there are other issues with the network, possibly related to
incorrect gateway settings, and/or a router misconfiguration.

Finally, please type the following command in a terminal:

 more /etc/resolv.conf

You should get an output similar to the following:
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain dc.yourprovider.net
search dc.yourprovider.net
nameserver 192.168.1.1

Please let me know the output you got with 'dig', 'ping' and 'more'
commands above. Thanks.
