A good starting point may be taking a look at the kernel IP routing |
10 |
table -- that's what "route" is for. You probably want to use its "-n" |
11 |
switch to disable host name lookups. |
12 |
|
13 |
You want a route with destination 0.0.0.0, genmask 0.0.0.0 (means CIDR |
14 |
network 0/0, or "default" upstream) and gateway somewhere in the range |
15 |
24.88.247.x (24.88.247/24), going through (iface) eth1. Without it, |
16 |
your system will not be able to talk to anything outside of your |
17 |
little corner of Road Runner's network. |
18 |
|
19 |
If you have such a route, then running traceroute (also with "-n") |
20 |
towards a known valid IP address should give you some clue as to where |
21 |
the problem is. You may also want to look at any iptables rule sets |
22 |
you may have; that's "iptables -L -n" (list, numerical). |
23 |
|
24 |
If you can connect to an IP address but not using a DNS name, that |
25 |
leaves just name resolution (/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf |
26 |
under "hosts:", as I recall). |
