Your router probably wasn't giving up the DHCP release to your physical card's mac address. . .that's happened to me too

you know.... I got my modem/router and had no problems with it for 6 years. Twice now, in the same year, it has stopped sending signal to my computer requiring me to reboot it. The first time it happened really screwed with me as I didn't know how to fix it for a couple of days. I guess it is going bad. Just remember this for the next time something like this or that happens.

Not really sure what the issue was, but I reset my Router and voila!  it works.

Thanks for all the advice.

Might be helpful to start from square one.

First thing you need to determine is if wireshark will work on your wifi--if it does then continue.  If it doesn't, then it only worked at starbucks because they have a wonkey setup where they're intentionally trying to capture all the internet traffic that goes through there.

Here are the exact commands I use to setup a bridged interface manually on a systemd system using ip (as opposed to the old ifconfig), just swap out my ethernet ens32 for your enp0p3

]$ ip link add name br0 type bridge
]$ ip link set dev br0 up
]$ ip link set dev ens32 promisc on 
]$ ip link set dev ens32 down && ip link set dev ens32 up
]$ ip link set dev ens32 master br0 #lose connection here
]$ modprobe tun
]$ ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap
]$ brctl addif br0 ens32
]$ brctl addif br0 tap0
]$ dhcpcd -k
]$ dhcpcd br0
]$ ping google.com

If ping works, then you're setup and have a tap0 interface ready to go for your VM.

Are you sure that it was bridged at Starbucks and not nat'd? What's the wifi chip? Not all have support for being bridged.

Yes it has both ...its a laptop.  I hear what your saying but i have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that my wireless card will communicate with starbucks router..but not mine.   I am going to try and reconfigure. My linksys router.... i have to factory reset it as i forgot the password.

I don't use Cent ever, but if it's anything like Ubuntu, you get either a) network interfaces file ala sysconfig scripts in rh derivatives or b) NetworkManager controlling everything, but not both.  If NM is running your stack, than it's likely ignoring those configurations as it contains all that in dbus and /etc/NetworkManager or like.

If that is a wireless nic, I still think the wireless isn't giving you another address, and likely won't in all cases.  Reason is typically wireless is meant to have a single client per security association.  This is usually controllable to some aspect. There's a reason to prevent this - someone bridging their laptop to strong encrypted wireless, and representing it via old wep or like I can crack with my phone.  Might work at home, but don't always expect that to work in more strict environments.

Does the system have a wired nic on it?  Have you tested with that?

If you want to see the transaction, "tcpdump -i enp0s3 port 67 or port 68" that "outside" interface and see if you see the dhcp packet leave the wireless.  If you get no response, your router/ap doesn't like another request.  If not leaving that interface, it's a local system issue.

Packets on the wire trump all, see if there are any.

I didnt think that was the reason. just for the simple fact that  I was connected wirelessly at Starbucks......their router assigned me an IP address using the enp0s3 file.

anyways,  I removed the device and reinstalled, still the same thing.  I still think its a setting in my router or perhaps Windows strikes again and there is something in the Network Manager that I dont understand.

How frustrating.....anyways, thanks for the help, if you think of anything else, please let me know.

Going to bed now..
