[SOLVED] Ping to google hangs

Electromancer · 02-12-2013, 06:18 PM

Hi,

I am using CentOS.

I'm trying to set a static ipaddress

Every time I ping google.com I get the following..
OUTPUT: PING google.com (74.125.224.41) 56(84) bytes of data.

And it just hangs there..

Here is my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
DHCPCLASS=
HWADDR=AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA
IPADDR=10.1.0.80
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
GATEWAY=10.1.0.49

Here is my /etc/resolv.conf (all are DNS servers)
search domain.org
nameserver 10.1.0.49
nameserver 10.1.0.181
nameserver 10.4.0.180

Here is my /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 locahost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 locahost6.localdomain6

After I configure all settings
/etc/init.d/network restart

I am doing all this under root.

What should I change? Could this be a router problem?

what is your routing table?

Code:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination       Gateway         Genmask      Flags Metric Ref  Use Iface
10.1.0.0          *               255.255.0.0  U     0      0     0 eth0
link-local        *               255.255.0.0  U     1002   0     0 eth0

it can be still a firewall problem either on the router or on the host.

The machine can reach and recognize google.com, but will not receive any packets. It hangs.

I can reach other machines on another subnet, but can't receive any packets.

I turned off the host firewall and no luck.

So I will try to turn off the hardware firewall.

Okay I found the problem, which I'm very embarrassed and ashamed of myself.

I was pointing my gateway to my first dns server and I changed the gateway to point to the router instead.

All is good now, what was I thinking..

Anyhow, pan64 I appreciate your support during the process of troubleshooting this.
