When I do ifconfig I get this



For some reason I cannot ping eth1 from anywhere except at the console of the server. Can anyone help me figure out what I need to do... I also noticed that the link light is not on for eth1.. It is a known good nic.. I pulled it out of my secondary machine which was working fine...

some ISPs block pings, in which case there's nothing to do...

however, if your ISP isn't blocking pings, then you might need to add an iptables rule to allow pings (your current iptables is likely blocking pings)... if that's the case, then what you need would look like this:

iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP -i eth1 --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT

just my two cents...

forgot to mention that IP tables is empty

diffrent network section , from other node to ping needs IP ROUTE

use :netstat -r

to see your route table

Double check your network cables, switch port etc... You must be receiving some packets and the link light must be on.

I have swapped out cables and switchports... still nothing.. I notice when I do the ifconfig that eth0 states that it is RUNNING and eth1 does not.. could this cause a problem>?

OK I have wiped out all my NIC information and rebooted and configured from scratch through KUDZU... My eth1 still is not working.. Does anyone know why eth0 and lo both say RUNNING and eth1 doesn't? here is my ifconfig again:

How can I add the R flag to a interface?

Well, my issue turned out to be complicated... it was a combination of 1 bad cable and I just discovered that the switch port i was trying to use was bad!!! So even if I switched cables it still wouldn't work.. Fortunatly I found a working port and everything is cool now...thanks to all who tried to help
