Connecting to home network drops internet after about 10 seconds (Ubuntu 16.04)
I have today had a really strange (and confusing) issue, that I cannot seem to remedy. When I connect to my local network (using either ethernet or wifi), the network appears to connect fine, and web pages load. But after ~10s it appears that pages can no longer load, and I see the chrome 'There is no internet connection' error.
Note though that the internet is still connected.
I found other blogs which mentioned similar things, and some useful info I can glean from that is below.
-
ping 8.8.8.8 This doesn't really work, it just returns the below, and freezes
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
I disabled ethernet/wifi to see if the other worked, it did not.
-
With wifi running, I ran ifconfig, which returned the expected block including the ip address line
inet addr: 192.168.0.1 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
I am not sure where to try next, I was thinking an upgrade (as am on Ubuntu 16.04) but don't think I can without an internet connection (note though I do have other computers I can download and use USBs on).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this has been an issue for half a day so far, and I really need to know how to fix it (hopefully without formatting my machine completely).

I first disabled wifi, ran this command, then restarted it. Nothing appeared in the cli, webpage worked, but after ~15s of refreshing, it stopped working again.
Edit 002
Adding other DNS domains I went into Network, then selected the wifi network I am connected to, and added the below line to 'Additional DNS servers'. Then restarted network-manager to test again, sadly no change.

Solution 1:
Possible (temporary) solution found. I do a lot of work with Docker, and there were a lot of docker networks on my machine. Running docker network prune to remove some of the unused networks appears to have helped.
Note though, I do not know why this has resolved the issue, maybe there was one docker site with a dodgy IP, or possibly just the sheer quantity of Docker sites I had locally. I will see if/when it comes back, and update this ticket as I know more.
