Unable to connect internet from shell..

linuxx

Hello everybody..

I am using fedora 6 and poxy server to connect to internet..
Also, IP address is assigned by dhcp server..
I am able to browse the pages from mozilla. so i think my /etc/resolv.conf has valid nameserver setting.
The problem is I am not able to ping any site(e.g. google.com) from shell.
Because of this my 'yum' is not working

Any Idea

micmast

can you ping an ip?
try this: 72.14.207.99 (that is google.com)

also what is your network layout? routers? firewalls? some icmp blocker somewhere? iptable rules?

I am not able to ping 72.14.207.99
But of course I can browse this from mozilla.

dns:192.168.9.5(thats what I found in resolv.conf)
gateway:192.168.9.10
mask:255.255.254.0
proxy:192.168.9.50:8080

No firewall..
icmp blocker can be possible..how can I check whether it is present or not?

try pinging those intern hosts you specified, if you can ping those it means the pings are cut of from the router with an ACL, if you can't even ping those, the problem is your setup
