My server is not connecting to the internet anymore

Ive been working on my self-hosted server in my free time as a
COMPLETE NEWBIE. I recently moved into a new apartment and after I got
everything connected, my server was ran into an error with cloud-init
and was also asking for my login (which it normally automatically logs
me in).

I found some advice online to disable cloud-init, so I did. But now I
have realized that my server just is not connecting to the internet
even though it is wired in. I don't even know how to proceed anymore.
I only realized all of this after I began seeing ads on my network.

When asking configuration questions, you should specify
OS/Distribution and version number in the title. People who know how
to help can then help.

Assuming you are running Linux, what does

    ip route

say?

Sorry about that! I am running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

IP route says many things. I wish I could screenshot but I cant even
ssh into it.

its says:

default via [192.168.1.1](https://192.168.1.1) dev enp0316f proto
static

172. ###### dev docker0 proto kernel scope link src 172.######

"                               br-someletters
" 172 ###### linkdown

​

I don't even know if that is helpful

New router or old?  If you can’t get a connection by ssh how are you
connecting?  Is it a vm?  More info required.

I plugged my monitor and keyboard into it after I realized it wasn't
working. Its a standalone mini-computer that I am using as a server. i
have not been able to ssh into it

Type ss -tulnp or netstat -tulnp and see is port 22 in LISTENING state

And check is service even running with sudo systemctl status ssh

A friend of mine helped me figure it out. He had me check my IP
address on my desktop and it was different... I logged into my routers
portal and I was greeted with a message that said "**Important
Update:** To avoid a conflict with your Internet Service Provider,
your routers IP address has been updated"

What a fun morning..
