cannot access outside ip addresses
 

I have a new install of TRIXBOX which is an installation of CentOS Linux 4.4. We are a mixed shop of both windows and Linux. I became aware of the problem while trying to do an automatic upgrade of TRIXBOX and got the message that it could not ping the upgrade site. I tested on other boxes and pinged the site OK. I found out that I could not access any outside IP address. I'm using Webmin, which I manually installed. All applications are working well. I have searched through the forum to find any other similar events. While I found several, there were no solutions. I have looked at /etc/resolv.conf is my Windows DNS server ip address and all other Linux boxes have not problem. It seems to me to be some sort of setting that I am unaware of, which is restricting my ability to access outside IP addresses.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Check the output of "/sbin/route" or "netstat -nr" to see if your default gateway is correct and the correct NIC device is used.

Command history

> netstat -nr
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 10.0.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Here is my netstat -nr results and I don't understand the 169.254.0.0 entry.

I am trying to make it more readable

Thanks for all your help. You pointed me in the right direction. It was the net config that did not update the routing table, and after I really looked at it, I could see the problem. I'm not sure how to close this post. Please close it if I am unable. Thanks again

FYI. Using [ code ] ... [ /code ] will give you non-proportional spacing and make print outs and code easier to read.
The 169.254 network is one that is automatically assigned if a dhcp server can't be found. That entry shows up on my netstat -nr listing also. However you seem to be missing the local host entry.

Mine looks like:
