1 Hello! My name is Andrei. I'm having this weird issue since last night. I
2 went out for a couple of hours, leaving my computer on. When I got home I
3 noticed I had been disconnected from all my IM accounts, ktorrent was
4 stalled, everything was frozen, i couldn't even load a website.
5 I tried restarting the net.eth1 script - nothing. DHCP was working fine, but
6 I still couldn't do any traffic. Today I called my ISP and they sent a guy
7 to check out the problem... He said the internet connection is working fine
8 on his laptop (running windows xp). I tried booting into windows... and I
9 couldn't believe my eyes... it was working :| How could this be possible?
10 I've done some more digging in gentoo, this is what i've got...
11
12 DHCP - working fine, i've got the same settings as ever (it's a static
13 configuration through DHCP)
14 Pinging the gateway/dns server - works fine.
15 Pinging google.com: it can't resolve google.com
16
17 Anyone have any ideas about what I can do to fix this? I can't spend this
18 Easter in windows :|
