Urgent: IP addresses do not work




Posted by jarchee, 10-28-2009, 11:01 AM
Hi, I got a serious problem here. I was working with my server until 30 min ago. suddenly public IP addresses stopped working. I have access to the server directly from the console and local IPs with putty. What can I do to get it live again?

Hi, what changes did you do before it went down? Do you have an IP i can try to ping?

The only thing I did which the server worked before and couple of minutes after that was to recreate the account that my hostname is based on that domain. thats it. but now when I check the IP in browser it does not resolve. none of the IP addresses.

Hi, Is it a linux based server . If yes, try to restart the service iptables .

I've disabled the internal IP address. restarted the server. typed the command you provided. now I can ping the server from local net work by public IP addresses. but when I use a vpn connection from outside world. I can not see anything. I asked couple of friends from UK and Middle East to check and they can not either ping or see anything. Please advise.

seems to be a routing issue with the IP. You need to contact the DC admins regarding this.

sounds like a gateway issue or a DC issue

route -n Can you ping your gateway from that machine?
