Can't ping this server from anywhere on either of it NICS (static ip address nor DHCP address). What is odd is it can read the webpages from a local network website, but the website server can't ping the server's IP addresses. What message(s) do you get back from the ping attempt?
Try this: su - -c "traceroute ip_address" Does the traceroute tell you anything different? Often the NIC itself returns the ping... in fact... I have two machines on my network that return a ping when they're powered off... because the NIC still has power. It would seem that the machine has been "changed" intentionally or unintentionally to swallow the ping requests. Somebody is playing with you.... obviously. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
