Any thoughts on this??
what are you trying to ping? you should: 1. check if local loopback interface is up (lo) if yes, ping 127.0.0.1 2. check if eth0 is up if yes, ping IP of eth0 3. now ping other machines in your subnet 4. now ping machines outside your subnet if 1. fails - networking is down if 2. fails - you haven't got eth0 configured correctly if 3. fails your routing table doesn't have an entry for your subnet. if 4. fails your routing table doesn't have a default route -- A university faculty is 500 egotists with a common parking problem. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
