    Exclamation wifi n/w connected but no internet access

    Hi,

    The situation I am in is a bit tricky. I am able to connect to my wifi router from my laptop but am not able to access internet. I had been using internet from the same modem and have no idea what suddenly went wrong. Three of my friends are still accessing internet from the same modem and have no problems.

    I even tried to access internet from windows but again the same problem , am getting connected to the wifi network but cant access internet.

    I have tried to ping my friends connected to the wifi network and also accessed the modem using wifi during which there were no problems.

    Then I tried accessing internet by connecting to the modem/router using LAN cable instead, doing which I could access internet.

    Please do help me out with the wifi internet problem

    If you can ping your friends and access the modem it means that your local network is ok.
    Please post the output of
    Code:
    ifconfig
    Code:
    nslookup ubuntuforums.org
    and
    Code:
    sudo traceroute 8.8.8.8
    Windows by necessity, Linux by choice
    Lubuntu and loving it!

    Re: wifi n/w connected but no internet access

    DNS seems to be working fine.

    However your routing seems off as you should be able to trace route to 8.8.8.8. Is there any particular reason you're using IPv6? If not, I would disable it.

    Does your router have a firewall or something?

    Please post the output of
    Code:
    ping 8.8.8.8
    and
    Code:
    sudo route -v
    to check your routing.
