ping-out

Why is that i always have problems in ping-out? I tried configuring the network card in kudzu,and also tried manually configuring it after the compilation of the kernel... at start,it can ping-out and reach other domains, but after the compilation,it displays the message Destination is unreacheable...

hi,
Have you tried reconfiguring your network card?.
you cannot ping to any machine in the local network ?.
Can you ping to your mentioned same network card ip address from the same linux server ?.
Have you checked the cables which connect the
linux server to Hub or switch ?.

Yep it sounds like a routing issue. Make sure you can ping your gateway.
Also make sure you have the driver installed as well.

Not to get off of the subject but you may look into webmin. It a great browser interface tool.
You can find it at http://www.webmin.com

Good Luck

Hi!

Are you compiling your nic driver into the kernel or as a module?

maybe you need a make modules;make modules_install when you compile your kernel,

when you're unable to ping out, what does ifconfig shows?

you should try modprobe

cheers
