Hello @dopeguy71313 :slightly_smiling_face:

Few questions.

  1. Can you access internet on other devices connected to same network?
  2. Type the following command in terminal & share the output of pluma /etc/resolv.conf
  3. What error do you get when you try to connect to the internet via firefox or ping something. These should be some sort of error message or error code. Any sort of error logs would be helpful too.

Let us know how it goes :blush:

It often happens DNS in linux is set to 127.0.0.1. Follow these steps to fix connection:

  1. open Terminal
  2. sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf
  3. open the editor with choosing E(dit anyway)
  4. clean the line that says “nameserver 127.0.0.1”
  5. write in the first line: nameserver 8.8.8.8
  6. write in the second line: nameserver 8.8.4.4
  7. hit Esc to enter normal mode and type :wq
  8. Done! Now restart your computer and try again.
