I’ll guess that DHCP server on your router was dead.

But to know for sure - are all your systems using DHCP, or are some using static?

IF your windows side is set for static, and the Linux side is DHCP, then this would be expected - windows works, linux doesn’t.

But I’m just guessing (however, I had a router once that would lose its DHCP server on a semi-regular basis.  I considered putting it on some sort of auto-reboot device (power cycle it once a day) - finally just replaced the stupid thing ;-)

I'm back. I just had to reset the router..... but why would that work if windows still worked?

The TV server, also linux, is still online. It is part of the same network.

I am now offline in my Linux box. Windows is up and happy and the modem is up and happy too. Heck, the network connection shows I'm connected too. I don't know what to do. What led up to this is I was trying something with th faulty SD card. .. grated said to run, chkdsk /f , twice so I boot into Windows to do that ,couldn't do it though. Then when I boot back to Linux to reformat it there was no connectivity.
