I'm currently trying to install Arch Linux on a new disk, but I'm encountering a networking issue that I can't seem to resolve. I'm getting a "Destination Port Unreachable" error when I try to ping external addresses (e.g., Google DNS at 8.8.8.8). Here are the details:
- **Connection Type**: Wired Ethernet
- **Router**: I can successfully ping my router (192.168.0.1) from the Arch Linux environment.
- **Current OS**: Live USB with Arch Linux
- **Other OS**: On the same machine, everything works perfectly on Windows.
### Background:
I previously had Kali Linux installed on this disk, but the internet suddenly stopped working entirely from one day to the next. I backed up the necessary data and formatted the disk. Now, I'm trying to install a new system, and this is the situation.
### Additional Notes:
- **No NAT Issues**: Other devices, including the same machine on Windows, connect to the internet without problems.
- **No DHCP Issues**: IP address and default gateway are correctly assigned.
### Current Symptoms:
- Can't ping external IP addresses (e.g., 8.8.8.8) - "Destination Port Unreachable".
- Local network (router ping) works fine.
### What i have tried so far:
1. **Interface Status**: Checked and the interface
enp3s0
is UP and has an IP assigned (192.168.0.111).
2. **Routing Table**:
default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp3s0
default via 192.168.0.1 dev enp3s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.0.111 metric 100
192.168.0.0/24 dev enp3s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.111 metric 100
192.168.0.1 dev enp3s0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.0.111 metric 100
3. **DNS Configuration**: Manually set DNS in /etc/resolv.conf
:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
Restarted systemd-resolved
but still no luck.
4. **Log Checks**: Reviewed journalctl -xe
but didn't find any network-related errors.
5. **Firewall**: No firewall rules blocking traffic (iptables -L
shows no blocks).
6. **Attempted Diagnostics**:
- Tried traceroute
but can't install it without internet.
- Can't use arp
as the command isn't available in the live environment.
Any advice on what I might be missing or what additional steps I should take would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
