Hello There,   
      
   As I have recently posted. I have had issues with networking on a BBBS PC that   
   was running Ubuntu Linux v16.10. BBBS suddenly became unable to make outbound   
   connections. Upon further checking I found that I was unable to make any   
   outbound connections including Http, FTP, Telnet, Etc. The PC was able to   
   connect to the router but nowhere beyond. I ended up moving BBBS to another   
   Linux Mint v19.0 PC and BBBS can connect fine. On the Ubuntu PC I tried wiping   
   the PC and doing a fresh install of an updated version of Ubuntu. I found that   
   I still could not make any outbound connections beyond the router. I wiped the   
   PC again and did a fresh install of Linux Mint and was then able to connect   
   fine to anywhere. The initial connection on the Ubuntu PC problem was sudden.   
   It was connecting fine then suddenly an hour later it couldn't connect. I must   
   admit that I fail to understand why Ubuntu (Several versions) suddenly failed   
   to be able to connect when it had been able to connect fine previously. But   
   Linux Mint can connect fine using the same hardware. I should add that I tried   
   changing the network cabling as well as alternate network cards and Ubuntu   
   still was unable to connect.
