Trying to ping my desktop machine from the laptop just gave me "Destination Host Unreachable" messages. With ifconfig I could see that no IPv4 address seemed to be assigned. And trying ifdown followed by ifup was not possible, because ifdown seemingly refused to work. > > What does (either) "/sbin/route -n" or "ip route show" say? Oddly, now, without me consciously doing something, except running the commands Reco and you suggested, the network seems to work again. So either one of these commands did some magic or something running in the background fixed whatever issue there was. The network still works after a reboot (I had tried rebooting several times before, without effect), so I guess I'll never now what caused these troubles and how they were fixed. (the output of your commands looks normal now I think, so there is no point in posting it here). Thanks, and best regards Michael
