Hi all!

Hope someone of you can help me out ...

I'm not totally new in Linux, but this problem freaked me out for days.

I got a new Linux-Server, everything working fine Sound, Graphix what ever.
Only thing doesn't come up is my network.

Following interfaces are configured:
eth0, lo and sit0, where eth0, lo are up and sit0 is down.

The problem is, that I'm not able to ping any of my machines out of Fedora Core 2:

PING 192.168.10.2 (192.168.10.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.10.3 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.10.3 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.10.3 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable

--- 192.168.10.2 ping statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 4998ms
. pipe 4

After days trying to get this damn thing running, I tried Red Hat 9, and everyhing works pretty fine. I compared the result of ipconfig -a of Fedora Core 2 and Red Hat 9, everything is totally equal, except that in Red Hat 9 sit0 was missing.

Does anyone of you has an idea how I can fix this?

hope for many helpfull responses ...
so far
with best regards

If the only difference is sit0 which is a ip4 to ip6 gateway type thing. Then i would recommend disabling ipv6 support
unload the modules "rmmod"
ifdown sit0
and reload networking see if that makes any difference.

I've got exactly the same problem. My pc was running fine under RH9 and now with Fedora Core 2 I get destination host unreachable if I try to ping anything on my internal network here at home?

Weird.

firewall turned on and blocking icmp?

no firewall is definatly turned off!

Helo all!

I've found the problem on my own.
It was not the firewall, this was the first thing I turned off for testing purposes.

FC2 didn't accept my network card, I tried the same card in an Windows machine, an it works still fine.
Changing network card solved the problem.

thx for all suggestions

Well done in fixing this problem. I can confirm I had the same problem here. Fedora Core 2 could not bind TCP/IP to a 3Com Etherlink XL pci 3C905tx NIC. (Both Windows and RH9 could recognise the card and utilise it correctly!!) I think I'll stick to RH9 for now.
