I have my laptop set to dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows.
I recently updated my internet driver through Windows using a 3rd party application. When I logged back into Ubuntu after updating the driver, the internet no longer worked.
I couldn't find any help online.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks.

You mean you booted into Windows, updated a Windows driver, logged out of Windows then booted Ubuntu ? The Windows installation and the Ubuntu installation are totally independant of each other. Can you give further details of what you mean by "the internet no longer worked" ?

About the first part, that's a yes. To explain about about "the internet no longer worked", it shows me on the top right that I am connected to the internet. Yet when I try to do something that requires internet (e.g. Firefox) it says I'm not connected.

OK, so in a terminal can you type "ifconfig" and see if you have been given an IP address ? Second, can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?

I pinged 8.8.8.8 and it worked. Then, I tried typing "ifconfig" and it did give me an IP. Edit: After digging a bit, I tried changing my DNS addr to 8.8.8.8 and it seems to work for now. Thank you so much!!

Turns out the error was a lack of DNS server. I guess the router DNS has somehow failed (maybe temporarily ?)
