Connected to WIFI but no internet.

Post by orangeiv »

I can connect to WIFI networks, but am unable to receive internet. It has worked previously, and (as far as I can tell) simply stopped working overnight. I get the following output for "sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py":

Code: Select all

$sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Things I have tried so far:
1) Restarting computer/wifi/network manager
2) Running "sudo dhclient wlan0"
3) Adding "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4" to the DNS servers box.

Updating to Linux Mint 17.1 (from 17.0) resolved the problem.
