Re: Can't ping



I can't ping nodes outside my subnet. I can reach the internet by hopping via 
another machine on the subnet, which makes it possible to write this e-mail.

Is there a config file I should check carefully? Things broke when I upgraded my 
Debian Sid in late July, with the previous successful upgrade in late June.

My /etc/resolv.conf, which works OK on other nodes:
   search rnd.ki.sw.ericsson.se
   nameserver 147.214.214.11
   nameserver 147.214.214.111
These nameservers are inside the company firewall, and I don't think they can 
be pinged from the outside.
