Cannot configure network.

I had to change from connecting to router to a direct connection to computer. I tried to setup by:

ip link set enp6s0 up
ip addr add [i]static_ip/subnet prefix[/i] dev enp6s0
ip route add default via [i]ipv4_gateway[/i]

At this moment I can ping my DNS server but cannot browse the internet (or there is no response from google.com(say) when pinged)

No. I didn't.
Should it be setup in

 /etc/resolv.conf

?

Edit: also, the gui utility to set up a new connection doesn't show there is a new connection till now.

Re: Cannot configure network.

You can add a dns server to you network configuration using the network manager you are using, then the content to /etc/resolve.conf
will be automatically generated or you can use systemd-resolved.

Re: Cannot configure network.

There was some fault from the ISP. I called them and they fixed the issue.
