Directly related (7)

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.

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.

WireGuard: Handshake did not complete after 5 secondsNetworking

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.

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.

TCP ZeroWindow / TCP Window FullNetworking

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.

ICMP Destination unreachable (Port unreachable)Networking

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.

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 (20)

ssh port 22 Connection timed outLinux

ssh: connect to host x port 22: Connection timed out

SSH packets get no reply — a firewall/security group drops them, the server is off, or the IP is wrong.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Frag needed and DF set (ICMP type 3 code 4)Networking

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.

VPN connected but internal subnets unreachableNetworking

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.

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.

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.

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.

Possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies.Networking

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.

times the listen queue of a socket overflowedNetworking

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.

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.

Ping: Request timed outNetworking

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.

Reply from x: TTL expired in transitNetworking

Networking: TTL expired in transit — routing loop between routers

A packet ran out of hops before arriving, which usually means two routers keep sending it back and forth.

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.

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.

Port err-disabled (psecure-violation)Networking

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.
