wireless - Wi-Fi connection fail after configuring wlan - Ask Ubuntu
i have been trying configure wifi connection dns values correct according isp had provided. used network configuration gui ubuntu 14.04 panel , connection works perfectly:
it might of importance publish ifconfig
's output when wi-fi connection alive , working:
wlan0 link encap:ethernet hwaddr 70:1a:04:a4:f0:31 inet addr:192.168.1.104 bcast:192.168.1.255 mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::721a:4ff:fea4:f031/64 scope:link broadcast running multicast mtu:1500 metric:1 rx packets:4658 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 tx packets:5685 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 rx bytes:1534231 (1.5 mb) tx bytes:1228569 (1.2 mb)
my problem occurred when out of curiosity, tried set values provided isp editing /etc/network/interfaces
. deleted numbers dialog box shown above , put below information in interfaces
file:
auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.120 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 185.98.113.113 185.98.114.114
unfortunately after running sudo service network-manager restart
in terminal, saw wi-fi connection has dropped , there no networks available anymore.
please me understand has been incorrect in either process i've taken or data have entered interfaces
file ?
first of all, interfaces file needs gateway address; not broadcast. second, every wireless interface needs directed connect specific ssid , provide password. suggest amend file to:
auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.120 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns-nameservers 185.98.113.113 185.98.114.114 wpa-ssid <your_network> wpa-psk <your_secret_key>
finally, network manager needs directed not manage interfaces declared in /etc/network/interfaces. please do:
gksudo gedit /etc/networkmanager/networkmanager.conf
use nano or kate or leafpad if don't have text editor gedit. make managed=false. if is, close text editor. if not, change it, proofread carefully, save , close text editor.
reboot , check:
ifconfig ping -c3 www.ubuntu.com
