Hey all, I've been running through a few issues on a test server i've setup using the perfect debian setup. Its been sitting around for a month or so, and isn't not in use for another month. Basically service drops every now and again.. and i'm pretty sure its DNS related. Currently I cannot ping any ip or name outside of our local network. If I try and ping a name I do not get any response. If I ping an ip address I get the same result. However, on the reverse side of things, web services running on the server are accessible. I have been attempting to fix up an issue where all network services go down on the machine (web services, mail, etc) and this is probably related. I'm new to all of this so I may have configured things the wrong way. Cheers for any help. this is my /sbin/route Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 203.109.145.64 * 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth1 default 203.109.145.66 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 Now this is a bit confusing - because technically 203.109.145.64 doesn't exist.. And i'm not sure how it got into the route table. When I attempt a dig: ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> google.co.nz ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached When I attempt to restart networking: >Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter. >Reconfiguring network interfaces...ifup: interface lo already configured >done.

Is your server in a local network (behind a router), or is it connected directly to the internet? If the first, what's the gateway IP address? What's the server's IP address? What's in /etc/network interfaces? What's the output of Code: ifconfig ?

I can ping fine now... i had the gateway wrong. sorry to waste your time on that. I must have mistyped it when I was going through all my config files in an effort to fix the weird problem with the drop in mail/web/ssh services. will continue monitoring it
