Forum Thread: Problems with Internet Connection in Kali Linux After Changing to Static Ip Address

Guys?
Why is everyone ignoring?
This site was and still my best site :(
at least some help?

Not sure if you found a solution to the problem by now,but I hope this helps someone:
I found this video which resolved this same problem for me:

To put it concisely, navigate to /etc/NetworkManager and edit NetworkManager.conf
underneath ifupdown change managed=false to managed=true.

for me, that's all I needed, and after a reboot, I had connectivity from my pi running kali with my static IP address.

example of edited files prior to changing NetworkManger.conf:
in /etc/network/interfaces file:
#I added these 4 lines:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.124 (not my real IP, btw)
gateway 192.168.0.1

in etc/resolv.conf file:
#generated by NetworkManager
search lan example.com
sameserver 192.168.0.1

Note: I wanted nameserver 1.1.1.1, but after changing to managed=true, this seems to always overwrite my saved nameserver and utilize my default network's nameserver instead. I'm sure there's a way to force this, but at least this will get you to the internet.

same problem!

I had the same issue. i'm using single boot Kali Linux (so not on VM).

I had troubles connecting to the internet despite being connected to my WiFi. Running ifconfig gave 3 interfaces in the output: eth0, lo, wlan0. Technically, it should not have eth0 since I did not plug an ethernet cable into my laptop.

I ran the command ifconfig eth0 down. Now, running ifconfig only gives 2 interfaces lo and wlan0 (Note: wlan0 is the interface my laptop uses to connect to the internet). After this, I am able to access the internet.

Disclaimer: this worked for me but I'm not sure of the side effects of running ifconfig eth0 down, so use at your own risk.
