So here is the issue, or one of them I should say. Ever since I installed Ubuntu Server 15.10 I haven't been able to connect to the internet, on that computer alone of course, even if I ping ip's they all give me Host Unreachable except for the computer itself of course.
I've done many changes that I thought could help (got them online) but they didn't. Including changes to /etc/network/interfaces and therefore /etc/resolv.conf. Here's what that looks like now. (ip is different, dont know if i should show that to the public)
/etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto enp0s25
iface enp0s25 inet static
address 192.168.23.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.23.255
gateway 192.168.23.1
dns-nameserver 192.168.23.17
dns-search cortex.com
And in /etc/resolv.conf there's only one thing
nameserver 192.168.23.17
Command ifconfig appears like this:
enp0s25 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:c9:70:c7:f5

If you are using
apt-get install update
it will try to install theupdate
