I had issue with frequent disconnection of internet on my laptop from WI-FI.
I contacted with local IT support on my company, they see the network connection from control panel and updated the "WSL 2 virtualized ethernet" IP4 setting from static to dynamic.
Since than I can able to access the internet on my laptop browser but WSL does not even ping to google.com.
Would any one help on this case, thanks a lot in advance.
Do anyone can help on this...
Hello
Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to Internet connection to WSL.
The reason this error occurs is because Windows automatically generates resolv.conf file with wrong nameserver.
On your Windows Machine run following commands.
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset all
netsh winhttp reset proxy
ipconfig /flushdns
On your WSL Terminal :
Locate the file by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Thanks, I used sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf to do the same.
Shouldn't we edit /etc/wsl.conf to add the [network] section? (That's what it says in my resolv.conf)

Hi, my problem was not fixed with this process, instead of adding the "[network]" and "generateResolvConf = false" in the resolv.conf file, I added in the wsl.conf by creating it with sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf
Futhermore, I also changed the address from the resolv file to a public one, such as 8.8.8.8
The well descripted process that I did in order to solve my problem can be seen here: https://www.tecklyfe.com/how-to-fix-no-internet-connection-in-wsl/

It works for me, thanks. But I'm still curious about the relationship between wsl.conf and .resov.conf

Unfortunately none of this has worked for me. It appears it all started for me with an early April Windows 11 update. Since then I've been FUBAR
