Networking: Clients receive the wrong default gateway or DNS server — a rogue DHCP server (often a home router) answers first
A second DHCP server on the network is giving clients bad settings, so some machines have no internet or odd DNS.
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: kernel: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet — new connections fail on a Linux firewall/NAT host
The connection-tracking table is full, so the kernel drops packets for any new connection.
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: 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: dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via eth0: network 192.168.1.0/24: no free leases
The DHCP server has no unused addresses left in the scope.
Two steps away (19)
HTTP 502 Bad Gateway
A proxy or gateway (Nginx, load balancer, CDN) got an invalid response — or no response — from the upstream server behind it.
HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout
A proxy or gateway waited too long for the upstream server to respond and gave up.
Error creating: pods is forbidden: violates PodSecurity "restricted:latest": allowPrivilegeEscalation != false ...
The namespace enforces a Pod Security Standard (baseline/restricted) and the pod spec breaks one of its rules.
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: `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: Windows: Default gateway is not available / Diagnose Connection Problems: DHCP not enabled
The PC can't reach its router, so it has no path out of the local network.
Networking: Duplex mismatch — late collisions, runts and CRC errors on the switch port
One side runs full duplex and the other half duplex, so the link works but is slow and drops packets.
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.
Networking: %PM-4-ERR_DISABLE: psecure-violation error detected on Gi0/5, putting Gi0/5 in err-disable state
The switch shut the port down because a security or protection feature detected a violation.
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: 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: 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.
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.
Docker Desktop: WSL 2 installation is incomplete / WSL update required
Docker Desktop on Windows needs WSL 2 and its Linux kernel; they’re missing, outdated or disabled.
Networking: PING: transmit failed. General failure. / ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
The operating system could not even send the packet, so the problem is local (adapter, route or firewall), not the remote host.
Networking: Two hosts on one LAN can't talk — subnet mask or network address mismatch
The hosts disagree about which addresses are local, so one tries to route traffic that should go straight across the LAN.
Networking: Port forwarding configured but the port stays closed — carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) or double NAT
Your router forwards the port correctly, but another NAT in front of it (your ISP or a second router) blocks inbound connections.
