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.

I tried "nmap 147.214.214.111" (as a non privileged user) and this
address does not show port 53 open. This is the port that is usually
used for dns lookups. Maybe this address is not the address of a name
server.
