Hi,
I currently get my broadband through Blueyonder in the UK. This goes from the cable modem into my router which then distributes around the house.
Since about 11pm on Thursday, I've had connection problems on the linux boxes (this email is via webmail on my RISC PC - which shows by virtue of being able to connect to my webmail account, there is nothing wrong with the router).
I'm getting this
If I use a terminal window and type
ping ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk
This appears
PING ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk (146.87.55.6) 56(84) bytes of dataFrom 192.168.2.103 icmp_seq=0 Destination host unreachable
And that's it. The name has been correctly resolved, but nothing else is happening.
I've tried turning off IPV6, moving down a kernel version or two (tried .411 and .422 (I think) with no difference), removed the firewall and done a number of resets. No difference.
The wife is really getting at me over this, so any advice would be helpful.
It may be of some use, but if I alter the network settings using neat and try to reactivate, I get an error SIOADDRT (file already exists). This may have something to do with it, but I doubt it.
Any suggestions as to a remedy or which log file to search to see if I can spot the problem would be greatly appreciated. It's driving me nuts not being able to use my Linux machines online!!!!
TTFN

Using neat, there is a check/ uncheck item that asks to resolve dns automatically. I made sure that it was checked for the ethernet device and restarted network services. Before selecting this choice, I had an ip address and could not get any internet site.
Maybe, maybe not a resolution to your woes.

It's lucky you're going so slowly, because you're going in the wrong direction.
