Destination Host Unreachable - can't get around it

Hi there!

I installed Slackware64-15.0 on a Fujitsu Lifebook (intel-i5) some time last year and did not use it very often. This is one of some multiboot machines and I don't recall much about the installation process.
I am not very good at configuring networks, have too many doubts about meaning of terms and expressions, but have always, often med help av friendly people, finally got it solved.

This instance of problem is happening after I became without internet and my provider finally changed their receiving hardware at my place. The router connecting to my computers is still the same.
The whole process took about a week of tests and exchanges.

I very much suspect knowing myself that my stress caused, as usually, many of the problems I experienced thereafter, including having to reformat and re-install 2 multiboot stations and buy a hard disk.

The Artix installed for boot managemment is connecting to the internet without any problems, which made - I believe - all the testing I did about cables, router and ports superfluous.
Here the only difference is which installation, everything else, AFAIK is constant.

I did also experience a problem initially exactly like that which is the subject of this thread in a Fujitsu Esprimo Q (intel-i5).
I was able to solve it there in a way that did not work in this case.

The initial symptom here (as there) was the message
Code:
 Destination Host Unreachable]
while connected to internet.

From there I spent 3 days searching, googling and trying different ideas collected on the way.

I did keep some examples, but unfortunately I don't know of any away to logging my terminal activity, so the information I am providing is incomplete and may have missed important bits.
But I think (/hope) those with experience may see through my misses.

Here is the last block I saved, this morning (sunday 25), after I upgraded-all, after updating kernel from 5.15.117 to 5.15.145 and making a new initrd:
Code:
bash-5.1$ ping -c 3 8.8.8.8

Don't set GATEWAY yourself. Only set this:
Code:
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
rc.inet1 should be executable and rc.networkmanager should not.

To me it seems as if your router does not provide you with any IPv4 address.

Do you have any machine on your local network working good enough to try to reach your routers administration web interface? There you should be able to configure things like LAN network settings. Then you can choose if you want to use DHCP for your machines in your LAN or if you want to reserve some addresses for static IP configuration.

regards Henrik

When booting I noticed something I had not noticed the first time I booted the generic-1.15.145. I have been trying to attach a picture of that screen but I keep getting answers of "Invalid Post specified".
What called my attention was that NetworkManager was started and assigned a 169.254.0.0/16, something that has happened quite often with some distros, in different machines.

I am doing all my testing through Ethernet cable, but when using NetworkManagers nmtui I can easily get feedback that I am connected both when I activate LAN and when I activate wifi. But in both cases it starts with the "Destination Host Unreachable" and then when I fiddle with settings all other kinds of error messages.

Got a feeling you've pointed at something relevant, though I have no idea why, just a feeling on the basis of what I have experienced, can't formulate it on a rational model.

On the other hand I must acknowledge that Artix in the same machine is accessing the Internet, either through wifi or ethernet cable, without problem. This is a situation I have experienced in other computers.

I really don't know what

means. I imagine that Artix should be good enough, but I have no idea how one does it.

I think that when I tried to ping my gateway last night, for the first time in my life, I got an "Unreachable" message, but I did not documented it.

169.254.x.x is an APIPA address
That means that no DHCP server has been found on your network or your network configuration failed

You should not use both USE_DHCP[0]="yes" and NetworkManager at the same time. Either 'chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager' and let rc.inet1 run dhcp or unset USE_DHCP[0] and 'chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager'.

Your router has some kind of configuration, both settings for how to connect to internet and also settings for your home network. One of those settings is the IP address of its internal interface. It seems as if we have assumed that IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1. Maybe that assumption is right, maybe that assumption is outdated and you now have another router with another IP address.

Another setting in that router is DHCP. It is possible to configure routers to give out IP addresses together with settings to machines in your network using DHCP. On the other hand, it is also possible to configure routers not to do so.

As your Slackware installation is unable to reach internet and got a 169 address from its DHCP attempt it will not be able to reach your router even if the 192.168.0.1 guess would be right.

If you have another machine which is able to successfully connect to internet through that router you could probably also use that machine to study the settings of the router. Is it configured with IP address 192.168.0.1? Is it configured to provide IP adresses and settings with DHCP? Maybe you can find out by pointing a web browser to http://192.168.0.1 on a working machine. On the other hand, by studying your routing table on a working machine you might find that your router is configured to some other address than 192.168.0.1.

The fact that DHCP fails and that most routers are configured by default to give IP adresses with DHCP might be a reason to study LEDs on the router and the network card in your PC. Do those LEDs light up in a way that indicates network link? Do the colors of the leds say anything about the network speed? If all LEDs are off you might have a broken network cable.

Thanks! that sounds like a good explanation to me. From the feedback I get it seems that there is a dhcpcd server being started, so it is probably the configuration, and most probably due to my lack of knowledge and experience. And I commit too many silly mistakes.

I have been trying to test your suggestions, but I did too many mistakes.I tried to log my terminal activity but ended up messing my system.
Probably because not having access to internet I had to switch (by rebooting) to Artix in order to access the LQT site and post.
In my set-up I have to adjust permissions in order to access files in another distro's partition and I messed up badly.

So I reinstalled from slackware64-live-15.0.iso.

And when I first booted I made sure to preserve everything I did, by copy-pasting from the terminal.
Problem then was the file got too large, and in trying to edit it to make it more readable, I came to a point where I was unsure if I had messed up.

So I kept the first lines, which show what I did immediately upon booting and which I am pretty sure were well preserved in spite of having some edited parts at the end. I think I finally tested your suggestions in the 2nd and third blocks of code below:
Code:

Finally posting from Slackware !

The solution, for the eventual benefit of other newbies was, following the advice of @henca, in post #10,reached in the following way:


I first pinged what I was assuming was my gateway, which had been 192.168.0.1 for 15 years in all my machines and their multi distros.

It probably changed when the internet provider changed some hardware (but not the router which I connect my computers to) in their installation in my apartment.

When I realized I could not ping what should be my gateway I looked at connman which is the networkmanager for Artix, which had been able to reach the internet all the , but the gateway box there was empty, to my surprise. Something I still have not understood as I was using the internet from that installation.

I then looked at another Artix in another machine and tried the gateway I found at connman there (??????)), and VOILA'!!!!

THIS IS SOLVED !

Thanks you all for great support !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S>:
just to try to make it clear for other newbies that may come to the same situation:
After I got the gateway address I started by making sure that NetworkManager was not running:
Code:
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager stop
and that it would not start by the next boot:
Code:
chmod -x /etc/rc.d/networkmanager
And verified that I indeed got:

Code:
-rw-rw---- 1 root root  2674 Sep 27  2021 rc.networkmanager
in the output of
Code:
ls -l /etc/rc.d/
Next, made sure that
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 29251 Jun 26  2023 rc.inet1
was also in the result of
Code:
ls -l /etc/rc.d/

Which in case of need might have been obtained by :
Code:
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

I finally set:
Code:
# IPv4 config options for eth0:
IPADDRS[0]="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
# IPv6 config options for eth0:
IP6ADDRS[0]=""
USE_SLAAC[0]=""
USE_DHCP6[0]=""
# Generic options for eth0:
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# IPv4 default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY="yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy"
in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, where my real IP-address and my reaL gateway address stood for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy.

After that, just
Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 start
and I had access to internet.


Veterans please point out my mistakes, for the benefit of my fellow newbies, this has been just an attempt to save them from the zillions mistakes I had to make the last few days.

Is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx a public IP address ?
