Hi
I'm using grml 0.7 for quite a while. But this morning I woke up to find that I can't access my Internet anymore. Everything was fine last night and I didn't touch anything...
Here are the symptoms:
% /etc/init.d/networking restart Reconfiguring network interfaces...ifup: interface lo already configured done.
Why the message only says interface lo, but not eth0?
$ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
$ ping grml.org ping: unknown host grml.org
Note that the "default" line from route took a long time to show up, so is the "unknown host" line from ping.
% ifconfig eth0 down
$ ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:2F:BE:4B:BA inet addr:192.168.2.13 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:185

Ie, I tried to shut down the eth0, but, should it be gone from "ifconfig -a" output?
I tried to regain dhcp leases but that didn't help.
By then, I ran out of ideas so I rebooted. However, same things happened, and I still can't get onto the Internet.
Note that the Internet is working fine. The other machine that's using the same router worked fine. Also, AOK when I boot back to Debian.
Please help. It's urgent.
thanks
