Unable to ping Ubuntu connected to Ethernet

ru flag

I was having trouble pinging my Ubuntu host through a router so I removed the router and connecting directly via ethernet. Internet is working.

I have disabled the Ubuntu firewall. Still cant ping my public IP address from a different network.

Here are some output settings:

sudo lshw -C network:

I also have an nginx server running on port 80 which I can reach on the host via localhost but cant reach from the outside using the public IP.

I figured I need to resolve the ping failure before I can get to troubleshooting that.

Does anybody know whats going on here?

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.
