Make a "cat /etc/diald.conf" and I think you'll find there the
mysterious echo option. Just retype "echo 'include
/etc/diald/diald.conf' >/etc/diald.conf" and it will work. You can then
remove the "-f /etc/diald/diald.conf" from /etc/rc.d/init.d/diald if
you like.
YOU GOT ME! I completely forgot that one. You must remove the default
route from the eth0 device.
I know there are graphical tools to manage the network configuration on
RedHat based systems but I don't have X installed in this particular
machine so I have to explain it this way. Bring down your network with
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop". Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and empty
out the GATEWAYDEV and the GATEWAY entries. Do _not_ delete or comment
them, just set them empty. Restart your network with
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start".
On the other hand... ping has to time out, so if the problem persists,
just wait a while and then break ping with [CTRL]-C and find if the
name you pinged was resolved to a IP address. If not ping a machine
through its IP address and find out what happens. If it goes OK the
problem is with your DNS configuration. And of course you want to ping
a machine you have to access through your gateway, not a local net one,
right?
Hope this fixes your problem.
