FC4 won't ping 127.0.0.1 or the internet, but will ping local computers
I'm running a server in my dorm room on Fedora Core 4, and all of a sudden it stopped being able to access the internet. I know that the port is ok, and I know that the network card works because I use it as a file server and everything seems to be fine that way. The problem is that I can't get to the internet at all. My laptop has no problems getting to the internet, and my server didn't when I got here initially.
To try and troubleshoot the issue, I decided that I would try to ping something, and so I started with my laptop which came back fine, but when I tried to ping 127.0.0.1, it would simply sit there forever. I can give some configuration settings if you want... any help would be greatly appreciated. -Jalsk eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:B6:75:E1 inet addr:199.104.2.247 Bcast:199.104.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::260:97ff:feb6:75e1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:115387 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:64188 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:85826216 (81.8 MiB) TX bytes:24765335 (23.6 MiB) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xd800 Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 199.104.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 |
Re start the network services to see what happens .

actually, it does this consistently even if I restart the network services. Even if I restart the computer, it still continues to do this.

Try turning your firewall off :
/etc/init.d/iptables stop Also check your host file. It should have something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost |
I just checked that, the firewall is disabled and not running, and the appropriate information is in my host file. I just found out something kind of interesting... I can ping 127.0.0.1 if I SSH into my server as root, yet when I'm running Konsole in KDE, I can't. I don't understand it.
