Hi, Try the following 1) $ ping -c 5 google.com $ ping -c 5 8.8.8.8 see if you get a response 2) now try and initiate a connection manually $ telnet google.com 80 For troubleshooting, * Trying Disabling Iptables and see if that solves the problem $ /etc/rc.d/iptables stop also check if your routing table is configured correctly $ route -n And lastly, see if the network interface has been correctly assigned IP address, netmark and gateway $ ifconfig -a Hope this helps Regards, Gaurish Sharma www.gaurishsharma.com On Mon, May 31, 2010 at 1:29 PM, Vincent Van Houtte <vvh@synergylaw.be> wrote:
Hi group,
Sorry to bother you (normally I don't intervene in this group and restrict myself to the forums), but I'm in a pickle at the moment:
I have a server set up to be everything for my soho: dovecot, nfs, calendar, ldap, krb5 and also bind9 / iptables.
Since I upgraded to a new server last friday, The clients on the network have no connection to the outside world anymore. Only the communication through the server is working (email and newsgroups, but also ssh to the server and then browsing in links2 works).
So, there is a problem with transferring packets. These are my observations: - I enter the name of the website www.google.com - The browser gets an answer: redirect to www.google.be (this rules out a faulty iptables config, I think) - then my browser just sits there, waiting for packets that are not coming
Updating via pacman or aptitude (Debian box) also fails.
It is very hard debugging stuff like this, and using the internet to find the answer is out of the question...
Does anyone have a clue?
THX!
Vincent
