I can get to other PCs in my house on the 192 network, but trying to go outside gives me the "network is unreachable" message. p3p1 is up with a good IP Address. Running Fedora 16. What should I do next to troubleshoot?
All other PCs in the house are working (Windows, Mac).
Does any other PCs in your house have external internet access? (Can other PC ping google?) Restarted your house ADSL/cable/? modem? – Darius – 2013-10-31T02:19:26.807
1Can you try pinging 8.8.4.4? – MariusMatutiae – 2013-10-31T04:04:09.053
Can you ping your gateway? Can you ping the external interface of the gateway? – brandonscript – 2013-10-31T04:48:03.920
Ping 8.8.4.4 fails @MariusMatutiae - same error, "connect: Network is unreachable." But then I did a "route -n" and realized I had no gateway, added one ("route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.1.1 p3p1") and now I can ping 8.8.4.4 but still not 74.125.229.194 (google). – Scott C Wilson – 2013-10-31T08:02:56.537
Yes @r3mus I can ping 192.168.1.1. On a working machine I go to "whatismyipaddress.com" and get my external address, and can ping that successfully as well from my failing machine. – Scott C Wilson – 2013-10-31T08:16:53.357
Then problem solved. Congratulations – MariusMatutiae – 2013-10-31T08:20:28.250
@MariusMatutiae I think I see what you're saying - I added the 2 google nameservers to my /etc/resolv.conf and things started working again - but what the heck happened? – Scott C Wilson – 2013-10-31T08:21:23.803
bug in network manager, happens to the best of us, and quite often too. Just drop yourself a note so that next time it happens you know where to look. – MariusMatutiae – 2013-10-31T08:33:52.260
LOL first time for me. Thanks guys for your help! Cardiac arrest averted! – Scott C Wilson – 2013-10-31T08:41:13.167
