My basic guess work based on your information is that your DHCP lease is gone to the football stadium instead to watch Zico score a goal :-D Anyway, next time such "Destination Host unreachable" comes, do - $ sudo ifconfig -a see if it is assigned IP address. If it isn't assigned an IP address - $ sudo dhclient3 interface dhclient3 is a dhcp client that says to your router "gimme IP address!". check for route to your router if its right. $ route -n to add a route $ sudo route add default gw router.ip.address.here $ sudo ifconfig interface static.ip.address.here also check if your /etc/resolv.conf is being overwritten [ check it when the internet works and when it doesn't work]. Usually, resolv.conf needn't change but that could also be your problem. If all else fails, ping us in #ubuntu-np and we'll see how we can solve this issue. If no one's around in there give this a try http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html cheers, Bikal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
