Networking: VPN is connected but I can't reach the internal network — missing routes, split tunnel or overlapping subnets
The tunnel is up, but traffic for the office/VPC subnets isn't sent through it or comes back the wrong way.
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: 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: 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: Handshake for peer did not complete after 5 seconds, retrying (try 2) — WireGuard tunnel never establishes
The WireGuard peers can't complete the cryptographic handshake, so no traffic flows.
Networking: ping: local error: message too long, mtu=1500 / Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set
A packet is larger than the path MTU and is marked "don't fragment", so a router discards it.
Networking: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Nbr 10.0.0.2 from EXSTART to DOWN — OSPF neighbor stuck in EXSTART/EXCHANGE (MTU mismatch)
Two OSPF routers see each other but never finish exchanging databases, cycling between EXSTART and DOWN.
Networking: Wireshark: TCP ZeroWindow, TCP Window Full — the receiver can't keep up and tells the sender to stop
The receiving application isn't reading data fast enough, so its TCP buffer filled and the sender must pause.
Networking: Thousands of sockets in CLOSE_WAIT — the application is not closing its side of the connection
The other end closed the connection, but your program never called close(), so the socket stays open.
Networking: IKE: received NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN — IPsec peers can't agree on encryption, hash or DH group
The two VPN gateways offered encryption settings that have nothing in common, so the tunnel never comes up.
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: netstat -s: 1523 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed — accept queue full, connections dropped
The application accepts connections slower than they arrive, so the kernel's accept queue overflows.
Two steps away (30)
Networking: ping — Destination Host Unreachable / Destination net unreachable (ICMP type 3)
A router (or your own PC) tells you it has no way to deliver the packet to that address.
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: VPN connected but internal names like db.corp.local don't resolve — split DNS / 127.0.0.53 stub resolver not using the VPN DNS
The VPN works by IP, but internal hostnames fail because queries still go to your normal DNS server.
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: 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: netstat -su: packet receive errors, receive buffer errors — UDP datagrams dropped by a full socket buffer
UDP packets arrive faster than the application reads them, so the kernel throws the extras away.
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: 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.
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.
0x80070035: The network path was not found (System error 53)
Windows can’t reach the shared folder — name resolution, SMB settings, firewall or network discovery is preventing it.
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: 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: 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: ICMP Destination unreachable (Port unreachable) — UDP packet sent to a port where nothing is listening
A host answered a UDP packet with an ICMP message saying no program is listening on that port.
Networking: Your Remote Desktop Services session has ended. Possibly the network connection was lost / Remote Desktop disconnected, error code 0x904
An established Remote Desktop session dropped because the network under it stalled or the session was reset.
Cloudflare Error 1033: Argo Tunnel error (Cloudflare Tunnel not connected)
The hostname routes to a Cloudflare Tunnel, but no healthy cloudflared connector is running for it.
cloudflared: Unable to reach the origin service. The service may be down or it may not be responding to traffic from cloudflared (502)
The tunnel is connected, but cloudflared can’t reach your local service at the address in the ingress rule.
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.
HTTP 404 Not Found
The server can’t find anything at the requested URL.
HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed
The URL exists, but it doesn’t accept the HTTP method you used (e.g. POST to a GET-only route).
connect: Network is unreachable (ENETUNREACH)
The host has no route to the destination network — no default gateway, interface down, or trying IPv6 without IPv6 connectivity.
Go: accept tcp [::]:8080: accept4: too many open files / open x: too many open files
The process reached its file-descriptor limit — usually leaked connections, files or response bodies.
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: `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.
OpenSSL: error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure (SSL alert number 40)
The server aborted the handshake with alert 40 — no acceptable parameters (cipher, signature algorithm, client certificate or SNI…
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: %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: %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.
Nginx: upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream
Nginx waited longer than proxy_read_timeout (60 s default) for the backend (app server, PHP-FPM) to respond, then returned 504.
Redis: # WARNING: The TCP backlog setting of 511 cannot be enforced because /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn is set to the lower value of 128
The kernel limits the listen queue below Redis' `tcp-backlog`, so bursts of new connections may be dropped.
