Re: cant ping external website

the file resolve.conf
nameserver 132.230.200.200
nameserver 132.230.200.200

i am able to ping the nameserver ip succesfully

but when i ping 217.72.195.42 its kind of still and then later shows unknown
host


i can ping other machines on the network


the ifconfig is as follows

inet addr:10.4.139.3 Bcast:132.230.139.255 Mask:255.255.255.0


the /etc/network/interfaces is

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 10.4.139.3

netmask 255.255.255.0

network 10.4.139.0

broadcast 10.4.139.255

gateway 10.4.139.254

# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed

dns-nameservers 132.230.200.200

dns-search imtek.uni-freiburg.de



thankyou for your help in advance

i have set up a new ubuntu 8.04 and am trying to get the internet
connectivity. but unfortunately even after setting up the ip, the gateway
and also the file resolve.conf with the nameserver ip, the result that i
get
when i ping www.web.de is ping:unknown host www.web.de

i looked for many threads regarding to this in the forums but cudnt yet
get
a convincing answer

The first step is to find out what exactly is wrong. Among the things
you can do are:
- post your /etc/resolv.conf maybe there's an error in it
- do a
ping 217.72.195.42
(217.72.195.42 is what my DNS gave me as IP of www.web.de)
- do a
host www.web.de
- ping the IP of the nameserver
- do a
telnet <IP of the nameserver> domain
- if there's some other machine/device connected via IP in your local
net, ping it's IP
- post the output of
ifconfig
