Pooed on my network settings when trying to set up a domain topic






Hey guys! I did poo! :P
At work, we have a large network where you don't really need to login to use the internet, but then you won't also have access to printers and file sharing. So, when I first installed Ubuntu, all worked fine without any extra setting!


But.. as I am transitioning to Ubuntu, I tried inserting my Ubuntu into the domain so I could use our shared printer, but I definitely did something wrong, and now not even the internet is working. I remember of changing the /etc/hosts file. Where it's normally "127.0.0.1 localhost", I stupidly tried changing it to "127.0.0.1 mydomainaddress.ac.uk" ), and obviously it didnt work. So I wrote back just "127.0.0.1 localhost". And my internet is still not working!

I tried googling a way of reset all network settings to default but none worked. I tried:


sudo iptables -F
sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
sudo service network-manager restart
dmesg | grep -e ath -e wlan

I know they're very random but I have been trying everything to have internet back on my Ubuntu and it's just impossible!

Anyway, thanks a lot and please let me know if you have any fix for my poo! =P
