I have a Linksys E900. I can access the internet and its admin page from Windows but not even its admin page from Ubuntu (on the same dual boot machine). Like there is no communication between the computer and the router when Linux is booted. I'm no networking expert but isn't TCP the same from Linux and Windows? How can there be any difference between the operating systems from the router's point of view? I have no networking issues on Ubuntu if I omit this router and I had used this same Ubuntu installation on the same machine with this exact same router for years before I moved. The only two differences I can think of are the modem and the router firmware which might be more up to date now (I reinstalled it). But I can't see how they can be relevant here.
Any advices are appreciated.
ip addr
show? Can you ping the router? What does the syslog say?ip addr
section for eth0. I cannot ping the router at all. Linux is configured to use DHCP. It actually does when I omit the router. As for the syslog, I'm not sure what I should be seeing. There are some DHCP entries related to an IP address in the range 10.0.5.x for another (I guess virtual) network interface but I can see no entries in the 192.168.x.x range for eth0 which would be what the router gives to my computer.
