Ubuntu Networking :: Connected To Internet But Can't Ping Systems On LAN?
Oct 5, 2010
I've got Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop and have recently (within the last 72 hours) started having trouble connecting to other machines on my local network. I'm unable to ping both my router and a server set up in the room beside me.
1. I have tried pinging my server and router from other machines and it works fine. Accessing the server via HTTP works from all machines except for my laptop.
2. I am, however, connected to my router via wireless and can access the internet. Also, if I connect via an ethernet cable I am able to ping both my server and router, although I'd love to be able to go wireless.
3. I assume something's wrong with my wireless setup, but I really can't figure out what. Possibly related note: my wireless has been disconnecting unpredictably on my home network (WPA).
Let me know if you'd like to see any command output and I'll get it to you asap! I've got a Dell Studio 1558 w/ the dreaded Broadcom BCM4312 wireless controller.
Code:
user@blue-skies:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

This morning my Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat desktop suddenly lost internet connection, but stayed connected to my netgear router. After the usual "tried turning it off and on again" methods didn't work, I booted into my Win Vista partition to find that connected no problem. I have another Ubuntu netbook and a Windows 7 laptop in the house as well as an Android. These all connect fine. It appears to be just the desktop Ubuntu.
I can ping my router 192.168.0.1 and log into it's UI via browser. I can also ssh to the box. My router does not do any filtering or blocking. I've tried disabling the firewall and changing the nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces and dhclient.conf as well as the network manager. The network card is a Belkin 54g but I can't remember the exact model no. it was bought years ago.
Code:
$ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (74.125.230.115) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
30 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 29004ms
Code:
$traceroute 74.125.45.100
traceroute to 74.125.45.100 (74.125.45.100), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 * * *
...continues to...
30 * * *
When I do a restart of the networking service it spits out the error:
Code:
Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0
However, as I said the wireless itself works.
/etc/network/interfaces:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iwconfig:
Code:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"haters gonna hate" .....

I recently set up an Ubuntu server computer (10.04) with the hostname 'morbo', and with a static IP address. With all my other ubuntu systems i can ping and ssh using their host names, like:
[code]...
i can't reach it via 'morbo.local' nor can i reach my other ubuntu systems from morbo by their hostnames. I have seen a 'quick and dirty' solution which might help here : [URL]... , but i don't want to have to add every system to morbo's list and morbo to every systems list, and because it works without manual configuration on all my other systems, i don't see why it shouldn't be possible here. Currently everything connects to one d-link router - does this mean it is the DNS server?

Do any one knows how to ping global inet6 addresses assigned between two systems. I assigned inet6 address through "ip addr add 2001::4 dev eth0" and similarly 2001::5 in another machine and tried to ping 2001::5 from 2001::4, but it is showing,
sait87@static-host:~$ ping6 2001::5
connect: Network is unreachable
Do any one knows solution for this problem.

I'm having a problem with my computer connecting to a speficic wifi. The problem seems to be between my computer and this wifi, because I can connect to other networks and other computers can connect to this wifi. I do manage to get a connection, but I can't ping any website, I always get an unknown host error.I have managed to connect to this network only once: it wasn't pinging and then it eventually started working, but I don't recall doing anything that made it work.

I've configured an FC14 installation and have been able to do everything over the internet as needed. Then I added a VPN client and can connect to the VPN. I can't ping a server I know is available on the VPN. Ping hangs, not getting any response (including timing out).My other Linux box (running all of the same software) can get to the server on the other side of the VPN so I know everything is okay except for my configuration.I had the same problem when I originally configured the other system and remember that I had to manually edit some setting in a file but don't remember what it was.

I'm having trouble pinging localhost, specifically, pinging localhost when I'm not connected to a network. When I try it keeps telling me the operation is not permitted:
Code:
matt@mubuntu:~$ ping localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
if I connect to the network, start pinging then disconnect it continues pinging. Google seems to think it could be something to do with my iptables setup:
Code:
matt@mubuntu:~$ sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
[code]....
When not connected to network
Code:
matt@mubuntu:~$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
But as far as I can tell there isn't anything in there which would stop me connecting to the localhost (I also can't connect to my local apache instance when offline)... (It's worth mentioning that a couple of weeks ago I had the pc setup to share it's internet connection with a laptop, ala this guide, however I've since disabled the iptables rules and disabled ip forwarding.)

When I connect to my company's VPN (it's a Cisco), it connects just fine and displays the broadcast message, but once connected I can't ping anything or ssh anywhere. Not on the private network, not on the Internet [URL], nothing. I can still browse the web without difficulties when connected to the VPN, but no ssh or ping. With ping, it properly resolves the host name, but I get 100% packet loss.
Once I disconnect from the VPN, a ping of [URL] works exactly as expected.
I don't have any firewalls set up on this host that I'm aware of (unless something is installed and configured by default).
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, amd64 build.

I'm running into a curious networking hiccup with my router setup. I have a D-Link DIR-628 wireless router connected to our modem, and a wire running from that to a Linksys WRT-54G (v1.1) in our basement. This setup worked great for a few days, but then suddenly the Linksys stopped routing us to the internet. I can connect to the router page on the Linksys and using the diagnostic tools I can ping the web from there, but none of the computers connected to it can. Everything is fine when connected to the D-Link.
After fiddling around with just about every setting on the Linksys I finally gave up and tried resetting it to factory defaults--and it worked! Everyone could access the internet again. But then, every day or two it locks up again and I have to reset factory defaults again.

I am unable to connect to the internet at work through the ethernet, previously working. I am not sure of the origin of this problem -- the result of an update or something that I did to the network settings.
In the NetworkManager applet is says Auto Ethernet is connected but I can't ping anything by name or ip address.
The wireless still works without any problem.
I have tried following some of the other threads on similar issues but the fixes proposed on them have not helped to date. And I may have mangled some of the settings files somewhat.

I am trying to ping my Windows machine connected to an open network (I'm at a internet caf) from my linux VM (also connected to the same network with a usb adapter), but I'm obtaining this output:
# ping 10.23.47.12
PING 10.23.47.12 (10.23.47.12) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.128.128.1 icmp_seq=1 Packet filtered
From 10.128.128.1 icmp_seq=2 Packet filtered
With high probability host 10.128.128.1 is a firewall or some router with packet filtering mechanism; but I don't understand how it can be possible to implement this kind of solution, with what kind of software or hardware? I also tried a nmap scan to my Windows machine but it returns me scan results from another host(the firewall or the router I suppose):
nmap -sS -O -P0 10.23.47.12
Starting Nmap 5.51 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-07-09 15:46 CDT
Nmap scan report for 10.23.47.12
Host is up (0.097s latency).
All 1000 scanned ports on 10.23.47.12 are filtered
[Code]...
So my questions is, how is technically possible to implement this kind of restriction within hosts connected on the same network? It's the first time I see this kind of configuration.

I dont know if my question is correct or not... but that is my way of understanding (it sounded different to me too Now my problem is. My ISP registers MAC address when connected to Internet. So if connect another system with a switch, Internet will be accessible by only one system (which registers first). I want both systems to work at a time!
What should I do?? Are there different methods of connecting? I searched google, but I could not frame a sentence to ask? It would be happy if it is either a command based or UI based. ++: How can I restrict the bandwidth usage of the second system??

I have a wireless router supplied by surewest but my wireless Cannon printer did not seem to like that.

I am using an virtual machine. where I need to ping from one machine to another. earlier I was able to ping. But after going to google.com once, I cannot ping back to this machine.
But if I gave ping -I eth1 <IP> then I can ping.
I cannot install any package, so tell me solution which includes not installing any package.

This is my second day with ubuntu on a dell mini 10v with broadcom wireless card. I hooked up to a wired connection and ubuntu installed the drivers for the broadcom card.When I put the cursor over the wireless icon on the desktop it shows the name of my wireless connection,active,and my ip address but when I open firefox I get a "server not found". I'm confused as what to put in the boxes for ssid,mode,bssid,mac address,and mtu under network connections. I've tried pretty much every conceivable method at my disposal,even went on my d-link router settings and nothing has worked.I do not have windows installed,using 10.4

I can connect to my router but no web pages will load etc... I can connect my phone to the router and USB tether it to my laptop and everything works fine. I can also connect to my neighbors router and everything works fine.
I have tried put my routers IP in /etc/resolve.conf but to no avail. I also tried putting 8.8.8.8.
Edit: Toshiba Sattelite A215 laptop (RS690 wireless card?) and a Linksys router.

I have a Compaq Presario R3000 with Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit that I just installed last night. I'm using a Zyxel G-102 Wireless card and Actiontec GT701WG wireless modem.
When I try to connect to the 'net, the network does show up and it connects strong (100%). It also shows multiple neighbors networks. It pings at 99% success (with over 900 sent as I write this) but when I open Firefox it can't connect, it just times out. I've used WEP security and have switched off security as well. I tried hooking up to the modem via USB and get the same result. It acts like a Firewall issue but there isn't one installed - at least that I can find and the Firewall in the modem is off. I ran FF in root with gksu firefox as suggested in another thread. I tried www.ubuntu.com and the header loaded but that was all. Then it timed out.
I'm new to Linux but have used Puppy Linux with this machine and card, etc. so I know it can/does work with Linux. I wanted a more refined distro and chose Ubuntu.

I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.4 to 10.4 and suddenly no internet access, but I'm able to ping as above. I've been using Ubuntu for about a year now but don't know it all that well "under the hood" so don't know where to start looking for a solution.

I just got a new power supply in my old desktop, and installed ubuntu on it. I've got three NICs in there (for a later project), and when I connect my cable modem to any one of the NICs, then little connection triangle-spinny-thing in the upper-right tries to connect. But it never gets all the way connected.

just installed Ubuntu Netbook remix on my acer aspire one, and come across a problem Ive never faced before. Im able to Connect to my router (and access it through the internal ip address) but as soon as i try access anything outside of my network there is nothing!
This i found odd as first i thought it might have just been my Routers problem, but seeing as all my other computers were connected to it with no problems (wired and wireless) I quickly traced the problem back to the laptop.
After this i decided to see if after a simple update would fix the problem. so i connected it up through the Ethernet port once again it connects to the router but no internet! I have tried everything in my knowledge, but with no success!
