I've had a problem with being able to ping out to the internet from my |
2 |
gentoo box, while at the same time I'm able to ping outbound from |
3 |
several windows boxes on same home lan. |

|

I don't run a firewall at all from linux but do have a Netgear |
6 |
switch/router/Firewall upstream between me and the internet cable |
7 |
modem. |

Output of iptables -L: |

What I'm asking for here is advice about where to start debugging |
22 |
this. |
23 |
|
24 |
I can ping anything on my home lan, but nothing on the internet. |
25 |
Not even my IP's nameservers. |
26 |
|
27 |
And as mentioned, at the same time I'm able to ping from any of |
28 |
several windows boxes out to the internet. |

My router/fw can be set to deny specific machines outbound traffic but |
31 |
that is not done in this case. So the solution must reside somewhere |
32 |
in my gentoo install. |
33 |
|
34 |
What things should I be checking. |
35 |
|
36 |
A ping attempt like this: |
37 |
|
38 |
ping ftp.ucsb.edu |
39 |
PING ftp.ucsb.edu (128.111.24.43) 56(84) bytes of data. |
40 |
|
41 |
Just never moves any further, but you can see it has resolved the |
42 |
alpha address to numeric forum so must have contacted and received |
43 |
info from the nameserver. |
