   If you haven't changed anything on the host machine and it worked
before, then you know that it is alright. You might try disabling your
firewall just to see, but if your network is working OK, then that's
probably not it either. All I can do is suggest that you go into network
connections and set up a new connection again, even if it's the same as the
one you already have. It might jostle something loose.
But you've probably already done that more than once... :-)
