I guess, no. > if not, append some known dns to that file this way: > nameserver 8.8.8.8 > nameserver 8.8.4.4 This does not help as /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten on every reboot. Creating /etc/resolv.conf.tail also did not help. > verify connection to your gateway and internet with ping. It is ok. I am writing from the same subnet.
