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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two steps away (19)

407HTTP

HTTP 407 Proxy Authentication Required

A proxy between you and the server requires credentials before it will forward your request.

408HTTP

HTTP 408 Request Timeout

The server closed the connection because the client took too long to send the complete request.

Failed to fetchJavaScript

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTEDBrowser

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.

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.

PING: transmit failed. General failure.Networking

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
