What are *you* talking about? The only way to determine if you have
connectivity is to actually try to connect to something. Failing a DHCP

than failing a ping, or an attempt to connect to some server. Only the
raw rookie would think he had connectivity simply because he has an IP,
but forgot it was assigned statically.

The OP already admitted to being a raw wookie. Perhaps you would
like to throw a few more insults his way.

Further, if you had bothered to follow the thread you would have seen
he already manually assigned an ip and that was still unable to
ping.

You are now recommending he run in circles.
