Ok, so I have a centos 5.9 server running on an old HP Proliant DL380 G4 (thread about my troubles setting it up can be found
here), and I'm having an issue with the network connection. I set up a static IP by editing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, and it seemed to work. I was able to SSH in with the new IP on port 11122 (custom port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file). The problem was that I could no longer access the internet from the machine itself, so I did some research and found that I had no DNS configured. I added google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) to /etc/resolv.conf as nameservers, and viola internet access. The problem is that now I can't SSH in. No error or anything, just "connection timed out". Also, I have configured ports 25565 and 8123 to be allowed through iptables for a minecraft server, but I can't connect to those either. I don't think it's a problem with the firewall because when I try to SSH in through port 22 (not allowed through iptables), I get a "connection refused" error immediately, which is what I want on that port. The problem is that the open ports aren't correctly processing data. Any ideas what might be the problem?
