Trouble shooting methods cannot be "parroted" You learn it from the "School of Hard Knocks" i.e. working in the trenches and "applying the tools" in an intelligent way. As for material - here is a scenario that you can trouble shoot - 1. Your server NIC; the "link" LED is lit (indicating that everything is hunky dory at frame level). 2. No error messages in the log files. 3. ifconfig -a shows the eth0 device i.e. the driver is properly loaded. It also shows the IP parameters (static) configured for the interface. 4. When you ping a remote host - it fails. 5. When you ping this host from a remote host - it fails. What will be your next steps to diagnose the problem? -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
