This sounds like something is eating packets.
When you do a ping from CW, can you tell if they ever go out over the ppp link. Can you see any tx/rx lights on the modem, for instance? If you have any lights on the ethernet card(s), check there too.
Sorry, I've an interal modem, no lights. On the ethernet cards, both have two lights, both are on.
Another thing to check; do you have a dummy0 device on CW? If so, what happens when you do an "ifconfig dummy0 down" on CW and then do the ping thing.
I took the dummy0 out before all this. Here is the ifconfig command for CW: --------------------------------------------- CW:/root # ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:18:57:79:F5 inet addr:192.168.17.42 Bcast:192.168.17.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4803 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:5500 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x6000 CW:/root # ------------------------------------ And here it is for Opus: ------------------------------------ Opus:/root # ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:286 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:286 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:4C:B7:4C inet addr:192.168.17.41 Bcast:192.168.17.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10130 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:8183 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 Opus:/root # ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- CW:/root # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.17.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.17.41 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 5 eth0 CW:/root #
If that's the case, what happens if you ping the ip address instead of the name (from CW)? Do a "nslookup yahoo.com" on opus, then use the ip you get back to ping from CW. I get "204.71.200.245" doing the nslookup here, what happens if you do a "ping 204.71.200.245" from CW?
I'll try to ping yahoo when I get on the net to send this to you. But if the guys in black break down my door as some type of hacker I'll tell them that you said to do it. :)
I pinged yahoo (and didn't get shot <G>) and this is what I got. I also pinged from Opus and it worked fine. --------------------------------------- CW:/root # ping 204.71.200.245 PING 204.71.200.245 (204.71.200.245): 56 data bytes --- 204.71.200.245 ping statistics --- 11 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss CW:/root # ---------------------------------------- So, what do you guys think?
