Useful article. I am using usb broadband modem and for my case it was also useful to use such command to find out default gateway
$ ip route | grep default
It has given: default via 10.1.1.3

I got the same problem. I’m running ubuntu 20.04 on virtualbox. I fixed it by changing the “gateway4: 192.168.1.1” to “gateway4: 192.168.0.1”. Flipping the 1 to a 0, or to the same number as the one in my own ip in that place.
Happy debugging!

Imagine you open a network service on your linux desktop, let’s assume it is a web server running on port 80, and you want to expose this service to the internet.

You would have to add a port translation rule into your internet box to forward connections on your public ip to your linux desktop system. And the configuration in the box is static, you need a fixed and consistent ip addr on your internal network.

You achieve that either with static ip that you assign by yourself, or by configuring the dhcp server inside your internet box to reserve an ip associated to your linux destop mac address.

Hi Narayan,
If your desktop is connected to the modem or a switch where DHCP server is configured with subnet “192.168.1.0/24”. So when your desktop tries to get ip from DHCP server then it will always picks one ip from the pool “192.168.1.2 – 192.168.1.254” . But if you want to map a fixed ip to desktop then you can assign that IP as static.
