Loaded Mint (Cinn) on laptop .. Install seemed fine, loaded updates, a couple of appletts, VirtualBox and BOINC . ALL D/L fine I including work-units in Boinc .
Returned a few hrs later , Nothing will access the net/router . Router and system shows a good connection on either WiFi or wired . IP assigned (DHCP or Fixed) , etc.. . But, NO data. Browser cannot see router (10.0.0.1). Firewall is OFF . OTHER devices online have no issues.
Tried reset, reboot... "Forget" connection , and connects seemingly normally afterwards but still no data. Put wrong info in config or wrong password and it refuses to allow until sorted out so it's obviously getting thru at that level.
Had the same occur earlier with Scientific 7.5 install (same sys) and install failed trying to d/l added packages. One install worked to completion but couldn't get data either but it showed good connection and IP of 0.0.0.0 instead of assigned by DHCP and fixed IP yielded a not assigned statement with no reference to default gateway either . Ifconfig showed proper address assigned and IPv6 assigned but no data . Tried Mint next and it went off clean until this...
Any ideas? Thinking maybe hardware issue but both adapters affected .
