I get IP Address but can't Ping

[lramos85]

I'm floored...I tried using different versions of the drivers/kernels, I even tried using the same stuff as the livecd with no luck. Then check this out: I go out and buy a different NIC, which uses Tulip drivers, its a Linksys NC 100...I install that, it gives me an IP Address, just like the intel card, everything seems to work but when I try to ping www.google.com it doesn't work.

It works fine on the livecd but not on the system.

I've gone through the dmesg's and the thing that overlaps is:

Code: Select all

eth0: no IPv6 routers present
eth1: no IPv6 routers present

Let me know what other information you need. I have a Dell Optiplex 755.

There are some other stuff there too but I can't copy and paste. I'm starting to think it has nothing to do with my NIC's or their drivers...what else can it be?

Like I said: I get an IP address on both cards, they both are recognized and everything but when I try to access the web...no luck.

Thanks.

lramos85,

What IP address do you get ?

Is there a nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf ?
If not add

Code: Select all

nameserver 4.2.2.1

to get you going but it may be deleted when your dhcp lease is renewed.
This is not a fix, just a diagnostic aid.

LOL, I was about to come here and say: FIXED IT!!!

You are right, under /etc/resolv.conf, nameserver was my domainname:

Code: Select all

nameserver lilnetwork

I ran dhcpd eth1 and it fixed it. (had to rm the dhcp file)

Do I have to do this everytime?? or I should just get the correct nameserver? Under /etc/conf.d/net "dns_domain_lo="lilnetwork"" should I put the dns ip instead?

Thanks for everything.

lramos85,

Your dhcp server (your router) should provide a nameserver for /etc/resolv.conf.
If not, you can set /etc/resolv.conf manually and set the nodns option in /etc/conf.d/net to tell dhcpcd that it must not overwrite your namservers.
See the syntax in /etc/conf.d/net.example

You should set two nameservers in case one fails.
