My Ethernet card is ok but I can not connect to the web
I ran a mint 17 machine but today after booting I found that even though my card is ok I can not navigate using any browser. My computer is part of a office network that use a transparent proxy for local dns and outside connection. The proxy runs Clear OS. The first thing I checked was if my card was running and it was I had an assigned ip and could ping everybody on the local network. However, I could not ping anyone a outside our network (8.8.8.
. So I investigate if I had any restriction on the proxy which came negative. To discard a problem with the proxy I installed a phone as WiFi router to see in I could acces the web, but even though the WiFi connection was ok I still can not navigate. I would appreciate any comments to have to troubleshoot this problem

Hello roberspierre 
Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum
See if

Welcome to Linux Mint and the Linux Mint forum

See if
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" |sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf
changes that situation.
