I have a weird problem. Today after turning my Ubuntu 9.10 PC on I can't connect to my local network, but I can use the Internet. We have a single Windows 2003 server machine that acts as a local main DNS server, DHCP server and a domain controller. Although it seems to give me the local IP address, I can not ping it, as well as any other machine on the net.
I have tried all of the below and it didn't help:
- Rebooting;
- Reconnecting to the network;
- Forcing the
dhclient
to renew the IP address; - Deleting and creating new connection profiles;
- Plugging my machine into another network outlet;
Maybe it has something to do with routing, because I have tampered with routing tables the day before, but the tables seem ok to me:
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 vboxnet0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Our LAN uses a D-Link DI-604 router, and it looks to me as if I am connected to the network outside the router. I can not even access its administration page.
Please at least suggest what I can do to solve this.
P.S. What seems strangest to me is that I can access the PC in question from outside the network by opening a port on the router. I have managed to ssh to it from outside, but I still can't ping nothing on the inside.
P.P.S Today I tried reinstalling network-manager with --purge
option, but it did no good. After that I created a new DCHP reservation for my PC in order to change my local IP, but that didn't change anything either. My PC is able to get a DHCP offer, but then it's unable to connect to any local computers. I am desperate.
Igor, did you ever get this resolved? – quack quixote – 2010-01-28T20:02:47.540
No, I didn't. The only thing that helped is a full reinstall. I decided to do it after I booted from a live CD and found that in that case all had worked well. – Igor Zinov'yev – 2010-02-11T11:40:23.730
What IP are you trying to ping? – ℝaphink – 2009-12-28T12:41:07.623
I am unsuccessfully trying to ping the IP of our local server, 192.168.0.1, for instance. – Igor Zinov'yev – 2009-12-28T12:49:57.807
