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). |
