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.
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: 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: 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: `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: 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: 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.
Two steps away (21)
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).
Error: socket hang up / read ECONNRESET
The other side closed the TCP connection abruptly while your client was still using it.
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: 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: 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.
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: %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: 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.
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: 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.
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: Interface down — SFP transceiver Loss of Signal / no receive light
A fibre or SFP link is down because the transceiver receives no light.
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…

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.
