1 I've had this silly problem for mnths and have posted on it here some
2 time ago. I've thoroughly exhausted my meager knowledge and attempted
3 any fixes suggested here.
4
5 I'm running an uptodate 2008.0 (not the vmware I posted about in
6 another thread) my main desktop at home.
7
8 I have simple assigned IPs throught home lan with 5 regular machines
9 and several experimental vmwares running in windows XP machines.
10
11 All sitting behind a netgear FVS-318
12
13 None and I mean absolutely none of those other machines have any
14 trouble pinging out to the internet.
15
16 I'm at a loss now as to what else to check. The machine itself has no
17 firewall setup at all. The router is something of a firewall but no
18 other machines have this problem.
19
20 I've checked and rechecked for any kind of blocking on the Netgear for
21 outbound and there simpley is none in place. So it must be something
22 peculiar about this one machine.
23
24 It seems there would be some diagnostic or several that would pinpoint
25 this problem but again I'm at a loss.
26
27 basic network setup from netstat -nr:
28
29 Kernel IP routing table
30 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
31 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
32 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
33 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.20 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
34
35 What else can I do to uncover the blockage?
