🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide

❌ 1. Script Not Running (Permission Issues)

Windows

• Error: Execution Policy Restriction

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force

Linux/macOS

• Error: Permission denied

chmod +x script.sh

---

❌ 2. No Internet After Running Script

Check:

✔ IP Address

ip a        # Linux
ifconfig    # macOS
ipconfig    # Windows

If you see:

169.x.x.x

👉 DHCP failed

Fix:

• Reconnect WiFi / Ethernet
• Restart router
• Run script again

---

❌ 3. DNS Not Working

Test:

ping google.com

If fails:

ping 8.8.8.8

• If 8.8.8.8 works but google.com fails → DNS issue

Fix:

Set DNS manually:

• Google DNS → 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

---

❌ 4. Network Service Not Restarting (Linux)

Some distros don’t use NetworkManager

Try manually:

sudo systemctl restart networking

or

sudo service networking restart

---

❌ 5. Interface Not Found (Linux/macOS)

Check active interface:

ip route        # Linux
route get default  # macOS

Update script if needed:

• eth0, wlan0, en0, etc.

---

❌ 6. Corporate / VPN Networks

• VPN may override DNS
• Firewall may block DHCP

👉 Try:

• Disconnect VPN
• Re-run script

---

❌ 7. Winsock Reset Requires Restart (Windows)

If issues persist: 👉 Restart system manually

---

📌 Best Practices

• Run only when facing:

  • No internet
  • DNS issues
  • IP conflicts

• Avoid frequent unnecessary resets
