You pinged the address 216.239.37.99, but does it work when you ping the corresponding domain name, ie va-in-f99.google.com, or any other domain name? If not it is clearly a problem with DNS not resolving properly, so check your network configuration (/etc/conf.d/net.eth0 or whatever your file is called)! Also read the example file in the same directory - it's full of valuable info on how to set up your network config. (If DNS resolution does work, it could also be a mockup with your firewall rules. Maybe outgoing TCP is rejected or dropped, for some reason. In all fairness, this shouldn't be happening unless you have changed any rules. It's a more of an extreme possibility.) //T -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGF6J6JDzv6DN+QUkRAqeMAJwLAsZhOe/EyfDNXYk+Ud+pHgsfbQCaA4gl kulr33wIYEXDxHZggQGs/AM= =pA7R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
