When I say I can't get a network, I mean that my Linux OS can't see any external hardware, including the router. And of course, I can't get the Internet.

When in W10 (as I am now), I checked the router "config pages" and I noticed that it has two different IP addresses - one to the W10 hostname and one the Linux hostname, on the same machine.

Any ideas?

Sounds like Windows & Linux are using different host names as part of their dhcp client requests, I suspect. Hence the different IP addrs.


Is there any IP bound to the NIC in Linux?

Is the link "up"?

If both seem valid, perhaps re-fetching an IP from the router:

> dhclient -v [iface_name]



Those are just a couple thoughts off the top of my head, but maybe enough to get you on the right track.


Good luck!
