Hello There,

As I have recently posted. I have had issues with networking on a BBBS PC
that was running Ubuntu Linux v16.10. BBBS suddenly became unable to make
outbound connections. Upon further checking I found that I was unable to
make any outbound connections including Http, FTP, Telnet, Etc. The PC was
able to connect to the router but nowhere beyond. I ended up moving BBBS to
another Linux Mint v19.0 PC and BBBS can connect fine. On the Ubuntu PC I
tried wiping the PC and doing a fresh install of an updated version of
Ubuntu. I found that I still could not make any outbound connections beyond
the router. I wiped the PC again and did a fresh install of Linux Mint and
was then able to connect fine to anywhere. The initial connection on the
Ubuntu PC problem was sudden. It was connecting fine then suddenly an hour
later it couldn't connect. I must admit that I fail to understand why
Ubuntu (Several versions) suddenly failed to be able to connect when it had
been able to connect fine previously. But Linux Mint can connect fine using
the same hardware. I should add that I tried changing the network cabling
as well as alternate network cards and Ubuntu still was unable to connect.
