well... I dont connect through DHCP, my machine is given a static internal IP ( 10.0.0.xx) so i guess i'm not connected directly to the internet i'm connected through the building's gateway ( all appartments in the building connect to one network and then connect to the internet through a gateway sort of like an internal ISP) and no I cannot ping anything after coming out of suspend, I try to ping any thing (ping my own machin, the gateway...etc. ) and I get a : "netwrok unreachable".
after I do a : service network restart I get the following : Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding [OK] Setting network parameters [OK] Bringing up interface lo: [OK] Enabling IPv4 packet forwarding [OK] bringing up interface eth0: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device Failed to bring up eth0. .... ? what could be the problem in this case ? I cant slide in another NIC I odnt keep collections of NIC's ():-) Regards to ALL. --------------------- Hanan AL-Shargi
