When it doesn't work, check you can resolve hosts, ie host google.com also check your routing table for a default gateway and try a traceroute. I could also be a duplicate ip or something weird like that. when it's not working, try tcpdump -nvei eth0 and try ping google to see what happens. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

The problem did not exist with earlier versions of Ubuntu. Heracles Could be DNS. Try setting the DNS servers manually, not to the address of your router. You can do this in the network settings of your machine having issues, or you can set your router to give the actual DNS server addresses when handing out addresses in DHCP rather than the router address and passing through to DNS servers. This is an issue I have encountered in the past, so is worth a go. Ultimately the best solution is to use Mageia for everything, always :-P Let the distro wars begin :-) Tuxta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
