My Ubuntu Server (18.04) will suddenly lose all internet connection, after running fine for a few minutes to a few hours, can't ping 8.8.8.8 or hostnames. Local network works fine.

It happens with both DHCP and static IP in /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

Rebooting the server doesn't fix anything. Only rebooting the router restores internet.

Weirdly, DHCP works, and I will successfully get IP from my router, upon reboot or restarting network on the server.

running ifconfig -a gives following on my wired connection. (I have a ton of other interfaces, that I left out, from having docker running on the server)

enp0s25: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

And ethtool enp0s25 gives:

I'm unfortunately not very strong in the internals of linux/ubuntu to know how to troubleshoot this issue better. There are no indications in the logs in my cockpit interface.

I've had the exact same networking setup running fine on a ubuntu desktop for months - same router, routersetup and switches/cables.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

  • When this happens, is there any output in dmesg related to your network card?

  • This hasn't happened for a while now since I removed DHCP reservation on the router, and put a different, static ip in my netplan config. Will report back with dmesg if it happens again.
