I'm using dhcp. I don't know if I'm using networkmanager. Once the
problem starts I can only ping localhost. I can't even ping the
gateway router. My /etc/network/interfaces is as follows:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
