Hi, I recently finished with LFS book and now I try to get my Internet-connection working. First, I wondered that "ifconfig" is not installed. It seems, that "link" is another frontend to the "ip interfaces" ?! I installed ifconfig as described in BLFS.
But I should proceed to my problem: pinging is not possible. Everything is fine but no ping-answer: PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from quorty-lfs (192.168.1.5): Destination Host Unreachable Vr HL TOS Len ID Flg off TTL Pro cks Src Dst Data 4 5 c0 7000 3074 0 0000 40 01 4282 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.5 So, what's wrong? Here is ifconfig's output: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:D5:73:E9 inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:540 (540.0 b) Interrupt:18 Base address:0xa000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:984 (984.0 b) TX bytes:984 (984.0 b) Here is "route -n" Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 So, I installed tcpdump. Here is tcpdump's output: 10:42:36.671360 arp who-has 192.168.1.1 tell quorty-lfs [only-this-message-a-million-times] Maybe, the address is not existing? But I'm sure, it exists (it's my internet-gw). From my good working debian system on the same computer, ping looks like that: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.31 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.743 ms --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.743/1.031/1.319/0.288 ms [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Another strange thing is, that the light on the switch is not blinking, while pinging. Any hints how I could track down the error?
