I've had this silly problem for mnths and have posted on it here some time ago. I've thoroughly exhausted my meager knowledge and attempted any fixes suggested here.
I'm running an uptodate 2008.0 (not the vmware I posted about in another thread) my main desktop at home. I have simple assigned IPs throught home lan with 5 regular machines and several experimental vmwares running in windows XP machines. All sitting behind a netgear FVS-318 None and I mean absolutely none of those other machines have any trouble pinging out to the internet. I'm at a loss now as to what else to check. The machine itself has no firewall setup at all. The router is something of a firewall but no other machines have this problem. I've checked and rechecked for any kind of blocking on the Netgear for outbound and there simpley is none in place. So it must be something peculiar about this one machine. It seems there would be some diagnostic or several that would pinpoint this problem but again I'm at a loss. basic network setup from netstat -nr: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.20 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 What else can I do to uncover the blockage?
