Hi
I have a headless Ubuntu desktop running as a file server/minecraft server/media server, etc., and it just generally works. I've just tried going online and have found I can't connect. I can VNC into it and can connect via SSH. I can ping my router, but can't get out onto the internet at all. I've found several post where people have had similar issues but they all seem quite specific. I've tried the various solutions, but none have worked for me. Hopefully someone will be able to help? I'm sure you will ask for a lot of information, but here are the basics:
I have two connections - ethernet and wireless. Both are active and have a valid IP Address. As mentioned above I can ping my router, other machines on the network, but just can't get out (ping 192.168.4.100/192.168.8.100/8.8.8.8/etc).
