Netconfig Troubles..

[MattWray]

Hello,
I am a newbie still to Linux. I have a Web Server that has been working fine. Well, we moved offices and got a new IP address. I used Netconfig to change the IP, mask, gateway and dns. The machine can ping itself fine. But when I try to ping the router that it is attached to, I get a network unreachable error. Any ideas on what I've done wrong...

Thanks,

Matt Wray

The "network unreachable" error message indicates a routing problem. If the problem is in the local host's routing table, it is easy to detect and resolve. First, use netstat and grep to see whether or not a valid route to your destination is installed in the routing table.
For example to test route to network 128.8.0.0:
%netstat -nr | grep '128.8.0

Check your ifcfg-eth0 are correct-
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=your.ip.address.xxx
NETWORK=your.ip.address.0
BROADCAST=your.ip.address.255
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=gateway.address

Check your isp DNS nameservers servers (listed in /etc/resolv.conf) and/or a static list in /etc/hosts.
