Chrome: No internet — ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED (You are not connected to the internet)
Chrome sees no working network connection on the device, so it cannot load any page.
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.
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: 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: 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: `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: 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.

Cloudflare Error 521: Web Server Is Down
Cloudflare couldn’t connect to your origin — the connection was refused.
Cloudflare Error 522: Connection Timed Out
Cloudflare’s TCP connection to your origin timed out — the origin didn’t answer at all.
Chrome: Your connection was interrupted — A network change was detected. ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
The device switched networks (Wi-Fi to mobile data, VPN on/off, IP renewed) while the page was loading, so the browser aborted th…
HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required
A proxy between you and the server requires credentials before it will forward your request.
HTTP 408 Request Timeout
The server closed the connection because the client took too long to send the complete request.
TypeError: Failed to fetch / NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource
The browser couldn’t complete the request at the network level — CORS, DNS, offline, blocked mixed content, or the server refused…
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: Interface down — SFP transceiver Loss of Signal / no receive light
A fibre or SFP link is down because the transceiver receives no light.
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: %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.
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: 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 — 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: 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.
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: %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.
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.
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.
