Lubuntu 16.04 - no internet on the new ISP "Gateway/Cable modem/coax" connection

  • 772

It is Lubuntu mini.iso with no desktop environment, only fvwm, so please, I can use only the terminal. I don't have any network manager installed.

There are two different routers: On the sim router the wired internet connection works for the Lubuntu device.

Immediately as I change the Ethernet cable from the above SIM router, to the other provider(router) which has only tv cable/coax connection through only a cable model(Gateway), there is no more internet connection.

With the same network cable/router port(from the second tv cable/coax/Gateway ISP) the internet works on Windows 7 and 10.

From what I could see for the two different routers/connections the IPs are dynamically.

Tell me please what logs do you need from the working and no-working connections, in order to see the differences...

Thank you.

I am not interested in the WiFi connection.

There are two different routers:

One is connected to the internet through a sim card - one ISP (Linux has internet) The second ISP is connected to the internet through a coaxial/tv cable/Gateway/Modem cable. (no internet on Linux for this one)

No configurations have been changed to any of the two routers or any machines Linux/Windows 7/Windows 10.

Only change the same cable for all the 3 difference devices from a router to another. Windows 10 and Windows 7 have internet connection on both routers.

Linux has internet only on the first SIM router.

For the non working internet connection to the link led from the router where is the Linux Ethernet cabled plugged, only the orange led one blinks, but for the other internet working devices connected via Ethernet cable to the same router, blinks also the green led on the router.

Working internet connection:

I run dhcpcd eth0 with the working internet cabled in, and after dhcpcd loaded everything, I plugged the cable in the non-working internet router, and the internet worked, maybe because dhcpcd was running.

I restarted the device to see if it will still work but when Linux loaded after restart it appeared in the console:

Failed to start LSB: IPV4 DHCP client with IPV4ALL support.
See 'systemctl status dhcpcd.service' for details
16.780656 usb 1-1.4.3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
A start job is running to Raise network interfaces ( ** min **s / 5min 7s)

The last part "A start job is running..." where I have to wait 5 min and 7s it seams that appears every time that the internet doesn't work. It has never appeared when the internet worked, but it always appears when internet doesn't work...

After starting Linux with the non-working internet in, I also tried dhcpcd eth0 but... 

eth0: waiting for carrier
timed out
dhcpcd exited

And again...

I have just(nothing less or more) only moved the cable from the non-internet connection router to the internet working connection router dhcpcd eth0

Loaded all the things successfully(with the internet connection plugged) It is right that would not be a good idea to paste in here the output of "dhcpcd eht0" ?

Unplug the working internet connection and plug in to the non-internet connection, but surprise, now I am posting from the non-working internet connection which it seams that now is working because of the dhcpcd eth0

But, if I will restart like last time, I think it will happen again like before

As soon as "waiting for carrier" without touching anything else, I unplugged only the head on the network cable from the Linux machine, insert it in the Windows 7 machine, disable the wireless at all from the Windows machine, enable LAN, and internet is working... This could mean that the router/cable/port of the router work properly?

I will try also to reset the router...

Could it be any other configurations of Linux, considering that the internet works after I use dhcpcd eth0 with the internet-working router plugged in, and after that, plugging in the non-internet router and still has internet connection... (until restart)

The only way the internet was working IN THE NON-INTERNET WORKING ROUTER (the same network cable/the same router port, everything the same like when it doesn't work) was dhcpcd eht0 WHEN THE NETWORK CABLE WAS PLUGGED IN THE WORKING INTERNET ROUTER and after that only moving the cable from the working-internet-router to the non-working-internet router.

But if I will restart the machine, no internet until I will not repeat the before steps.

I've also reset for a few times the router, restarted it (unplug from the electricity for at least 30 second) tried to reconnect the Linux machine to the non-internet-router with another cable router and also to another port router, but still not working, until I will not do the step from the beginning.

The same Ethernet cable and router port from the non-internet router provide internet instantly when is plugged into another Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines, without to change anything in Windows or in the fresh/new/from scratch reset router.

The var/log/kern.log it was to big to paste anywhere, and I don't know why I could not upload the file to any file hosting site, or on Google drive, or elsewhere. The file has only 2.1M. I've also tried to copy it/rename it, but it is not possible to upload it anywhere. even here on the forum as an File Attachment. Maybe because of the file content.

Considering the before post, when I was connected on the internet through the regularly/usually non-working-internet router, but this time, before restart the internet was working on it(the reason for the working internet connection you can see at the beginning of the before post)

I only restarted the machine, without to touch anything else, router, cable or anything else.

Immediately after restart:

~$ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com




~$ ping 8.8.8.8

~$ sudo dhcpcd eth0
[sudo] password for globalisation:

From the above post/replay it seams that 192.168.110.0 is the Gateway, It seams that it is right, because when I write in the browser it asks for the username and password of the modem/password

  1. It seams that these two commands resolve the problem:

    sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full

    sudo dhcpcd eth0

    Only that now, still have to find out how they could run on the system start, because after every restart the two commands should be used.

    It seams that in adding them in /etc/rc.local doesn't have any effect.

    Still at he boot there are these 3 issues:

    [FAILED] Failed to start LSB: IPV4 DHCP client with IPV4LL support
[17.289877] usb 1-1.4.3: device descriptor read/64, error -110
A start job is running for Raise network interfaces (**min **s / 5min 8s)

    And there is waiting time until the 5min 8s passes. This last error it appears always only when the internet connection is not recognized, but never when the internet connection works from the beginning immediately after restart, without to use any commands in order to start the internet.

  2. It seams that the final result, in order to have internet access automatically after reboot/shutdown/sleep with no more manual commands:

    /etc/network/interfaces

    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    pre-up ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full

allow-hotplug eth0

    /etc/rc.local

    #!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

echo 70 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
rfkill block bluetooth
rfkill block wifi
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100 duplex full
