Re: Can't ping



I can't ping either. I have Debian Sid, and made a system upgrade in late July. Is the cause the same?

pinging other machines on the same subnet works.

The route command takes very long time (40 seconds), but gives the expected result. (disclaimer: I don't understand this stuff, but I can compare with machines that work)
The route -n command is quick, and gives the expected result.

From /etc/resolv.conf:
search rnd.ki.sw.ericsson.se
nameserver 147.214.214.11
nameserver 147.214.214.111

I cannot ping the nameservers by IP. I can from other machines, of from the same machine running Knoppix.

The ifconfig eth0 command gives the expected result (same disclaimer)

Result of "route -n | grep eth"
147.214.195.0 0.0.0.0 255-255-255-0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 147.214.195.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

I don't understand if this is a problem with a configuration file or with a program that got downloaded when I upgraded the system. I hope it's a configuration thing, because then it's easier to repair.
