Can't ping from root, yet network still available
by maschelsea from LinuxQuestions.org on (#594A1)
I'm having a problem here. As I said in the title, root can't ping google, yet seamonkey has no trouble connecting to google whatever. I have some output I can show you.:
Code:root@caitlyn:~/RetroArch# ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (216.58.193.132) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
13 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 11999ms
root@caitlyn:~/RetroArch#What is going on here? I can obviously use the network, assuming that this posts without a problem, but I can't seem to ping anyone out there. I recently got a new modem, which seems to provide more reliable connections, but meanwhile I can't update my systems because I can't ping anybody. Please help!
