My router is set up with the following (from my IP's instructions) Username=######@phone.coop Password=######## IP Address=82.138.204.44 If I ping 'phone.coop' I get pete@desktop:~$ ping -c5 phone.coop PING phone.coop (1.0.0.0) 56(84) bytes of data. From v100 (213.160.96.53) icmp_seq=1 Destination Net Unreachable From v100 (213.160.96.53) icmp_seq=2 Destination Net Unreachable From v100 (213.160.96.53) icmp_seq=3 Destination Net Unreachable From v100 (213.160.96.53) icmp_seq=4 Destination Net Unreachable From v100 (213.160.96.53) icmp_seq=5 Destination Net Unreachable --- phone.coop ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, +5 errors, 100% packet loss, time 4001ms If I ping the IP address I get: pete@desktop:~$ ping -c5 82.138.204.44 PING 82.138.204.44 (82.138.204.44) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 82.138.204.44: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=3.02 ms 64 bytes from 82.138.204.44: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.688 ms 64 bytes from 82.138.204.44: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.676 ms 64 bytes from 82.138.204.44: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.681 ms 64 bytes from 82.138.204.44: icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=0.672 ms --- 82.138.204.44 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% packet loss, time 3999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.672/1.148/3.023/0.937 ms The result is exactly the same on this partition (Xubuntu, which is working) and the other one (Debian, which isn't). Not certain what it proves other than neither system recognises the name of the IP. Pinging google.com gives the expected result: pete@desktop:~$ ping -c 5 google.com PING google.com (64.233.167.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from google.com (64.233.167.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 time=151 ms 64 bytes from google.com (64.233.167.99): icmp_seq=2 ttl=241 time=147 ms................. Following Jeff D's advice /etc/resolv.conf # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit! nameserver 192.168.1.1 The result is the same for both systems. Haven't tried laptop but it should give 'nameserver 192.168.1.2' -- Regards Pete Redwood predwood@phonecoop.coop |
