DNS not working inside a Kubernetes pod (could not resolve host / nslookup: can't resolve)
Pods can’t resolve service names or external hosts — CoreDNS is down, blocked by NetworkPolicy, or the upstream resolver fails.
Networking: NAT gateway ErrorPortAllocation / SNAT port exhaustion — intermittent outbound connection timeouts
Many instances share few public IPs, and the NAT gateway runs out of source ports for outbound connections.
Networking: TCP: request_sock_TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies. Check SNMP counters.
The server's pending-connection queue filled, so the kernel switched to SYN cookies to survive.
Networking: kernel: nfs: server nas01 not responding, still trying / nfs: server nas01 OK
An NFS client can't get replies from the server, so processes using the mount hang in uninterruptible sleep.
Networking: `arp -n` shows (incomplete) / Destination Host Unreachable — no ARP reply from the next hop
The machine asked "who has this IP?" and nobody on the local network answered.
Networking: dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 ... No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
The client broadcast a DHCP request and no server answered.
Networking: connect: Cannot assign requested address — ephemeral port range exhausted by TIME_WAIT connections
The machine ran out of local ports for new outgoing connections to the same destination.
Networking: Every connection pauses about 5 seconds — resolv.conf nameserver timeout, then fallback to the next DNS server
The first DNS server in the list isn't answering, so each lookup waits out a timeout before trying the next one.
Two steps away (24)
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND host / Name or service not known
DNS lookup for the hostname failed — the name is wrong, doesn’t exist, or this machine can’t resolve it.
net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED (This site can't be reached — server IP address could not be found)
DNS couldn’t resolve the hostname in the browser.
cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: api.example.com
PHP cURL couldn’t resolve the hostname via DNS.
Docker: Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated
Another container or host process already publishes that host port.
driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
Docker’s iptables rules were wiped (firewalld/ufw reload, iptables flush) while Docker was running, so it can’t publish ports.
nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address already in use)
Nginx (or another server) can’t listen on the port because another process already holds it — often Apache, another Nginx, or a s…
Cloudflare-branded 502 Bad Gateway / 504 Gateway Timeout ("cloudflare" footer)
A plain-looking 502/504 page with “cloudflare” at the bottom comes from Cloudflare’s network itself (or an origin response it cou…
Networking: SSH/HTTPS connects but hangs on large data — path MTU discovery black hole
Small packets pass but full-size ones vanish, so logins work and then transfers or page loads stall.
Networking: nc -vz hangs then times out — firewall silently DROPs packets (REJECT would answer "Connection refused")
A connection attempt gets no answer at all, which points to a firewall dropping the packets rather than a closed port.
connect: No route to host (EHOSTUNREACH)
The destination host isn’t reachable — it’s down, on another subnet without routing, or a firewall rejects with “host unreachable…
Networking: netstat -s: segments retransmitted / Wireshark: TCP Retransmission, TCP Dup ACK — packet loss on the path
Packets are being lost, so TCP resends them and throughput collapses.
Networking: Windows error 64: The specified network name is no longer available — SMB session dropped
A connection to a Windows file share was cut while in use.
Networking: Network cable unplugged / `ip link` shows NO-CARRIER state DOWN / Ethernet: Network cable unplugged
The network card sees no electrical link, so nothing above it (IP, DNS, browser) can work.
Networking: No Wi-Fi networks found — the Wi-Fi adapter is missing, disabled or its driver failed
The operating system doesn't see a working wireless adapter, so no networks can be listed.
Networking: Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting / signal -80 dBm / wlan0: deauthenticating by local choice (reason=3)
The wireless link is too weak or too noisy to hold, so the client drops and rejoins repeatedly.
Networking: Windows has detected an IP address conflict / Duplicate address detected by 00:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee
Two devices on the same network are using the same IP address, so traffic reaches the wrong one or neither.
Networking: %CDP-4-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH / device on the wrong VLAN can't reach the gateway
A port or trunk carries a different VLAN than expected, so hosts silently land on the wrong network.
Networking: IPv4 address 169.254.x.x (Autoconfiguration / APIPA) — the PC couldn't get an address from DHCP
With no DHCP answer, the computer gave itself a link-local 169.254.x.x address, which only works on the local segment.
Networking: Interface down — SFP transceiver Loss of Signal / no receive light
A fibre or SFP link is down because the transceiver receives no light.
Networking: wlan0: WPA: 4-way handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect / WRONG_KEY
The Wi-Fi association started but key negotiation failed, almost always a wrong password.
Networking: %SW_MATM-4-MACFLAP_NOTIF: Host is flapping between ports / broadcast storm
A layer-2 loop is making frames circle the network, saturating links and making the whole VLAN crawl.
ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
The Linux host can’t resolve domain names — no working DNS server is configured or reachable.
Networking: ping — Request timed out / 100% packet loss (host drops or filters ICMP)
No echo reply arrived in time: the host is down, unreachable, or simply ignores ping.
Networking: Sites load slowly or hang for seconds — broken IPv6 (AAAA resolves, IPv6 route missing) falling back to IPv4
The client prefers IPv6, but the IPv6 path is broken, so every connection waits for a timeout before using IPv4.
