When I say I can't get a network, I mean that my Linux OS can't see any external hardware, including the router. And of course, I can't get the Internet.
When in W10 (as I am now), I checked the router "config pages" and I noticed that it has two different IP addresses - one to the W10 hostname and one the Linux hostname, on the same machine.
Any ideas?
Sounds like Windows & Linux are using different host names as part of their dhcp client requests, I suspect. Hence the different IP addrs. Is there any IP bound to the NIC in Linux?
ip addr show
Is the link "up"?
ip link show
If both seem valid, perhaps re-fetching an IP from the router:
dhclient -r [iface_name] dhclient -v [iface_name]
Those are just a couple thoughts off the top of my head, but maybe enough to get you on the right track. Good luck! rb
