Here are the network settings
JackGreenEarth
I tried changing the IP in manual settings, I'm not sure how I ping an IP, I assume it's a command that I don't know, but as the screenshots show, accessing a website didn't work. I saw an IP in the startup menu and tried that but it didn't seem to work
Did you want a specific part of network settings, or is this helpful?
I didn't set it up; another member of my household did
How do I find that? Is it written on the router somewhere, or is there a command to run to find it?
It's not doing what it was before now, now it's just showing the 'activation of network connection failed' error. But before when I ran the up command it had the connected sign, and said it was connected in the GUI, but when I tried accessing any website it wasn't able to, and I don't have any firewall installed, so I assumed that the connection wasn't working.
The result for ip address show ens6f1 is now the same as before
12: ens6f1: <BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 14:02:ec:7d:52:f1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp129s0f1
inet6 fe80::1602::ecff::fe7d::52f1/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
62.49.7.152 is my public IP, if that's what you mean. How do I use that information, other than allowing others to know my approximate location?
The first time I tried it it had the connected icon but no actual network connection, the second time it didn't do anything
The first command didn't work as networkd wasn't started, so I tried to start it with networkctl start networkd, but it said 'failed to start networkd.service: Unit networkd.service not found'
I checked with my laptop, and the same cable provided internet there, which makes me think it's something to do with the software on the server.
Why is that? I applied the change, and restarted the Ethernet connection, but I still don't have internet
