Internet is working on PC, but XBMC won't recognize it
#1
The internet is working fine on the PC but XBMC is having issues. When I look in the network information in the sysinfo in XBMC, it says
Link: Connected
MAC address: Busy
blah blah
Internet: Busy (and intermittently says "Not connected, check network settings")

I can't update the library either. This is driving me nuts.

No. Not PC wide nor in XBMC.

Check you don't have something like a virus scanner doing something silly (Kapersky or whatever it is caused this exact issue on thetvdb URLs the other day).

Nope, the machine is running Linux Mint. No virus scanner.
In addition to the MAC address and Internet showing as "busy", in the system info, the operating system is also showing up as "busy", as well as the system uptime, total uptime and battery level. For a couple seconds every so often, they display the correct info before quickly changing back to busy.

I had to change my dns in resolve.conf to the actual dns server instead of my gateway. Baffling.

Thanks for this tip. I wasn't sure how to do this but just changed the 'nameserver' in resolv.conf to Google public dns - 8.8.8.8. It seems to have fixed a problem I was having with remote addon directories loading painfully slowly.

This is my situation:
The internet is working fine on the PC but XBMC is having issues. When I look in the network information in the sysinfo in XBMC, it says
Link: Connected
MAC address: my address
blah blah
Internet: "Not connected, check network settings"

open terminal
sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
Add the line "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to the bottom or replace your already listed nameserver with 8.8.8.8. Save, relaunch XBMC. 8.8.8.8 is Google's nameserver.

These changes do not persist after a reboot if you're using network-manager (used by Mint, Ubuntu, etc). There is a way to fix this too:
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
Should be all you have to do. Let me know if anything is unclear and I or another forum member can try to help.

Hi, I'm also having the same problem - I use XBMC on my PC pretty much every day, however for the last couple of weeks I have been unable to connect to the internet. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and everything works fine on that, however when I load XBMC, either from within Ubuntu or from the login screen, no internet. The connection in this case is via ethernet cable.
I also have a copy of XBMC on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 which I rarely use, however I fired it up and I'm having the same problem there too, despite it working in the past. The laptop is connected to the internet via wifi and everything works fine apart from XBMC, as evidenced by this post! My thoughts are that a recent update has caused the problem and none of the previously suggested solutions have fixed it for me. Also, as XBMC runs on top of Ubuntu, it seems there's a disconnect between XBMC and Ubuntu that's causing the problem. Is there any way to test if the two are communicating? I'd be happy to post the results here.

Further details: Eden 11.0, running on both Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04, both ethernet and wifi.Samba/networking are fine, I can stream movies and music from pc to laptop without any problems.

I just solved this problem on my Ubuntu linux box:
1. Go to Network Settings -> Edit -> IPv4 Settings -> DNS Servers
2. Remove multiple entries and enter 8.8.8.8, reconnect network
3. XBMC add-ons work!

I followed the instructions of

- logging into pi via ssh
- edit resolve.conf
- add nameserver 8.8.8.8
- save

addons now work.
