Directly related (8)

4-way handshake timeout / Incorrect passwordNetworking

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.

Duplex mismatch: late collisions / CRC errorsNetworking

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.

Native VLAN mismatch / wrong VLAN, no connectivityNetworking

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.

SFP link down / Loss of Signal (LOS)Networking

Networking: Interface down — SFP transceiver Loss of Signal / no receive light

A fibre or SFP link is down because the transceiver receives no light.

arp -a shows (incomplete)Networking

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.

MAC flapping / broadcast storm (spanning tree loop)Networking

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.

OSPF neighbor stuck in EXSTART/EXCHANGENetworking

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.

Cannot assign requested address (EADDRNOTAVAIL)Networking

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.

Two steps away (17)

captive portalBrowser

Browser: This network requires you to sign in — captive portal (hotel, airport, café Wi-Fi) blocking HTTPS sites

The Wi-Fi needs a login or acceptance page first; until you complete it, secure sites fail with certificate or connection errors.

No Wi-Fi adapter found / Wi-Fi option missingNetworking

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.

Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting (weak signal, -80 dBm)Networking

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.

Network cable unplugged / NO-CARRIERNetworking

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.

High TCP retransmissions / packet lossNetworking

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.

Port forwarding not working (CGNAT / double NAT)Networking

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.

DHCPDISCOVER ... No DHCPOFFERS receivedNetworking

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.

Many sockets in CLOSE_WAITNetworking

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.

Windows has detected an IP address conflictNetworking

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.

Reply from 192.168.1.1: Destination host unreachableNetworking

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.

Wrong subnet mask: hosts can't reach each otherNetworking

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.

404HTTP

HTTP 404 Not Found

The server can’t find anything at the requested URL.

405HTTP

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).

Network is unreachableLinux

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.

Connections hang on large transfers (PMTU black hole)Networking

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.

nc/telnet hangs: firewall DROP vs REJECTNetworking

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.

NAT gateway SNAT port exhaustion (ErrorPortAllocation)Networking

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.
