    'Host unreachable' when pinging the gateway

    Hi all,

    I've just intalled Kubuntu 7.04 and now I'm having problem connecting to internet. I connect using dynamic IP through gateway 192.168.0.1, when I ping the gateway it always returns 'host unreachable' messages. I've also tried assigning static IP with no luck.

    I tried to executed collectNWData.sh script when IP setting is dynamic and the result is as follows:

    Code:
    collectNWData.sh V0.4.5
--- What's the type of networktopology?
--- (1) DSL modem <---> LinuxClient
--- On which host is the script executed?
--- (1) LinuxClient
!!! The system can't ping an external IP address.
>>> Check your default gateway setting. Gateway's IP is 0.0.0.0 and interface is eth0
!!! The system can't resolve an external DNS name.
!!! No nameserver defined in /etc/resolv.conf

    This problem does not always happen. One day I can connect to internet just fine for the rest of the day, the other day I just can't connect no matter what I do.

    Before installing Kubuntu 7.04, I tried OpenSuse 10.2 and also had the same problem. But with Windows I can connect just fine.

    I'm not a network guy and I'm also fairly new to Linux.

    Any help would greatly appreciated.

    The answer is there in the output.

    a) You have no default gateway specified.
    b) You have a bogus IP address assigned. 169.254.x.x is assigned when dhcp can not get an address. This is probably caused by (a).

    You can add your default gateway from the command line, but it will probably easier for you to do this through yast. Once you've added a default gateway, either restart the network service or the entire box.

    It looks like you use a router instead of a modem to connect to the internet and your router doesn't act as a dhcp server.
    Try to configure your router as a dhcp server or give your client an IP address which is in the same network as your router.

    I thought you don't have to specify default gateway if you use DHCP ?

    Again, I'm not a network expert so I might be wrong here.

    How to specify default gateway from command line in Kubuntu ?

    If that's the case, I won't be able to connect from Windows, will I ?
    From Window I can connect just fine, or since I'm not a network expert, am I missing something here ?

    I'm more concerned about interface eth0:avah & eth1:avah, what are they ?
