Wifi connection active, no internet

Support
1

I’m having trouble connecting to the internet, even though I have an active connection. It works fine on every other device. I tried this fix: https://blog.parrotsec.org/no-internet-connection-when-upgrading-to-parrot-3-7/

Still doesn’t work.

Running Parrot 4.2.2
Method: Debian Standard
Multiboot: No

Any help is much appreciated!

What is the driver you are using as your wireless connection? Looking through the individual interface settings in /etc/network or sometimes /NetworkManager (it depends on your configuration) usually helped me see where the issue was when I would run into issues like this

Does ping 172.217.20.110 work ?
What about ping google.com ?
If the first work, the second fail you have DNS problems

Hi, thanks for your reply!

When pinging 172.217.20.110 it repeats: Network is unreachable

When pinging www.google.com, I get: Temporary failure in name resolution

Is there something else then, or do you still think there’s a DNS issue here ?

Try installing the Broadcom dummy package and see if you can force a reconfigure using iw dev delete and then reconfigure after a restart.
