I noticed that updates were failing, I tried to update from UI and that failed. So I ssh into server and found that no external hosts were resolving, I can’t connect to the internet. It was working fine for several weeks and then stopped. I don’t remember changing anything. So I can’t upload logs for the same reason.
Here is what I get when trying to update. I also changed /etc/resolve.conf to 8.8.8.8 still not working. It connects to local network and nas in the garage fine.
Any troubleshooting steps or ideas greatly appreciated. I had to remove some of the links as new users are limited in what they can post.

Reading package lists… Done

Thank you for your reply, I hope this tells you something.

Encouraged by your generous kind help, I did step back and do what you suggested.
I switched to a different port on the larger switch, no affect. Then I switched it to a different switch, a smaller one that was plugged into the larger switch, and bingo everything works again. I realized, even though there are many other devices connected to the large switch, none of them need to get out to the internet. The larger switch is the one the router is plugged into. It’s still a bit unknown, because the old previous connections worked fine for over a month.
Thank you again for your nice help, so appreciated!!!
