I have an ethernet cable connected to my home server but I have no internet connection despite the interface having status UP. I cannot even ping the router (at 192.168.10.1). When I plug the same cable into a different computer the connection works as expected. How can I troubleshoot this? I tried to consult ChatGPT and follow its suggestions but it did not lead to a solution.
I can also mention that I have no functioning WiFi due to driver problems so currently I access the server through a serial console (with Minicom).
