No more ethernet connection after update... Bind9-related? [solved so far]

Post by arvY99 »

Hi,
I saw a couple of topics about a similar problem: the ethernet connection of linux mint is not working anymore after an update.

Running a main PC with dual boot: Win7 / LM18.1, and an ARM-board connected to the same modem/router. Until few days ago all 3 systems were able to connect to the net, now LM18.1 does not connect anymore.

As far as I remember the last update (through the Update Manager) was related to bind9.
The icon in the taskbar says it's wired connected, the connection parameters did not change, I can see IP and DNS addresses... but the network connection does not go through (Update Manager/Browser/Email app do not work).

- Live LM18.1 from an USB key can reach the network; tried with both Update Manager and Firefox.
- Tried '/etc/init.d/network-manager force-reload' from another topic, it did not solve the problem.

Wondering what could have been broken. If possible I would like to avoid to reinstall the OS...

Thanks in advance for any input/advice!

Edit: in case, here is the output of the inxi -Fxzd command:
