root@myserver:~# ip addr 2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN
This looks like the parent hypervisor on my droplet has my eth0 interface disconnected.
I cannot ping my gateway from my droplet. I cannot ping anything in my droplet’s subnet.
I can ping my droplet’s gateway from my home PC, so the gateway is up.
How do I get my NO-CARRIER flag to go away and regain network connectivity?

Same problem - Out of the blue droplet loses network connection. etho0 No-carrier.
Hello
If the eth0 interface is DOWN, the command to bring it UP would look like this:
- sudo ifup eth0
