Cannot Access Internet but local network works - after software update

Help and Support
1

Hi Guys,

I’m struggling with this one. I have a static ip set up on Kodi and my PC. This has worked great for a while. Since the update though OSMC cannot access the Internet.

– Ping modem/router – this works
ping 192.168.1.1 -c2

The connection to the local network is fine and we can watch shows.

The problem is that it cannot connect to the Internet from Kodi. All external IP addresses never recieve a ping/

– Ping google with ip address – this doesn’t work – 100% packet loss
ping 8.8.8.8 -c2

IP Route command:-
default via 192.168.1.99 dev eth0
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.99
192.168.1.99 dev eth0 scope link

– static ip address OSMC:- 192.168.1.99
– 192.168.1.0/24 – local network

There should be a default route to the router (192.168.1.1). Instead, it’s set to 192.168.1.99, the address of the OSMC box.

You haven’t said how you set up the static IP addresses. If it’s via DHCP on the router, I’d suggest you reboot the device. If it’s via MyOSMC, check your settings.

Thanks. These were just standard settings on the OSMC box. I fixed it and it worked. I don’t know why the settings changed. I assume it was during the install but I can’t be sure.
