In addition to the suggestion in post 2, can you ping that ip? Can you ping your router? Can you ping another computer on your LAN if there are any? What steps have you taken so far in an attempt to resolve the problem?
Cables are good. I do sometimes remove, count to 20, and re-insert the cat6 cable. Yesterday that worked on the laptop, but not today. I have What IP installed and it finds other PC's and the NAS, plus router.
I also pinged and got positive results for each separate IP.
Traceroute 8.8.8.8 could not complete on Terminal and I tried to install the needed package. Cannot presently use the net on the laptop, so will have to wait until it surfaces again.
Going to do a hot re-start now to see if it changes? Oh uh, forgot to insert Grub and it went to Windows10, and it has active internet.
trying again. Success, have internet, telegram is importing messages. Going to install the traceroute utils.
It could also be an issue with your ISP doing some software or hardware upgrades in their data center (s) which may affect customers' abilities to connect to their network either to surf the internet(interwebs) or read their emails. It could also be an issue with the firmware on the modem needing to be upgraded.
Have you set your modem up so that it isn't the default gateway for your network? Not doing so could impair your connection.
yeah, google ping OK, but Zorin has internet at the moment, so maybe I try when it hasn't?
Modem is the only receiver gateway to my home on 192.168.1.1. How could it access another connection? Anyway, windows10 on 2 of the devices dual installations always gets internet no issue if I boot to that OS?
I am given sms advice if there is any maintenance ISP work, been none for ages.
