okay here's the situation...i just converted one of my servers into a pfSense box to replace my router. got it up and running fine, and i'm loving it, until i boot into fedora on my multi-boot machine. for some reason i can get an ip, browse the network, even login to the webgui on the pfsense machine, but i can't get out to the internet. does this make absolutely zero sense to everybody else or am i just missing something?
when i boot into ubuntu everything works just fine, but when i reboot into fedora there's some sort of voodoo hex.
sounds like a missing default route to me... what does your routing table say? what about a traceroute to google?
Code:
[fedora@linuxbox-fedora ~]$ traceroute www.google.com
traceroute to www.google.com (64.233.167.147), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
connect: Network is unreachable
i kinda remember having a problem before where i had to add a default route, you just clicked on a giant lightbulb in my head and now i'm going to try to remember how to do that...thanks for the quick response
