I have no internet connection except for Bit Torrent

np flag
Ant

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
Strangely I cannot connect to the internet in any way other than bit torrent. It doesn’t matter if bit torrent is on or off. I cannot get anything on the browsers Chrome or Firefox. I cannot ping www.google.com on the command line. This is a dual boot machine and Windows runs just fine with internet when booted. Maybe the router has problems giving this boot an IP address or something. Maybe I should connect with a static IP address, but I don’t know how to do that. Any ideas?

I have tried a wired connection with Ubuntu. I have tried a WiFi connection with Ubuntu. No internet. Except for Bit Torrent.

The internet used to work. I had bit torrent on there for a long time. I don’t know why it stopped working. Nothing corresponded to it not working.

Open a web browser: Try address http://1.1.1.1 . Does it connect?

Also, try pinging google.com instead. And try simply rebooting your router.

Pinging Google got nothing. When I was on WiFi only I was able to ping 8.8.8.8 so I followed instructions of the top answer [here](https://askubuntu.com/questions/886359/ping-8-8-8-8-works-but-ping-www-google-com-doesnt) , set the name server to 8.8.8.8 and kind of got it working for a minute. Though I would like it to work with the wired connection.

@AlexOnLinux I'll let your know the next time I get on that machine. I think it was an address that started with 127 and I changed it to 8.8.8.8 to get it working over WiFi. I could not get it working over the wired ethernet.

@AlexOnLinux I changed it to 8.8.8.8. This is the file I changed with help of [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/questions/886359/ping-8-8-8-8-works-but-ping-www-google-com-doesnt)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
