RH Linux 7.2 unable to ping to gateway

:smash:

I installed RH 7.2 on two machines and am facing the same problem.

Both machines are unable to ping to gateway.

It shows the error message:

"Destination Host unreachable..."

ping localhost works, ping to localhost by it IP works, telnet localhost works,etc but I am unable to reach to the gateway.

I hate to say but this machine was working previously using another operating system(M$) using the same interface and now it has stopped.

Any help will be highly appreciated. I have run out of options.

Thanks in advance...

Are u using dynamic IP or static IP?
Are u able to ping to a remote host? eg,. another pC?

I think u have to enable your route setting.

Someone pls correct me, i f iam wrong

Right now you haven't actually configured your network card, you're pinging the machine through lo, local loopback, which is more or less a non-existent network device that allows your machine to talk to itself.

Try from the command line:

ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx up

Where the XXX's are whatever IP you want the machine to have.

If your gateway assigns addresses through dhcp, try:

dhcpcd eth0

I have set all the network parameters during the install.

Here are the parameters which I have input.

Addressing: Static IP

IP address: 10.1.0.111
Mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 10.1.0.1

ifconfig -a does show this address on eth0 and that the interface is up.

thanks..

Could you post the output of the following commands:

ifconfig
route
ping -vc 1 10.1.0.1

Gurus:

I desparately need help.

and I guess I have narrowed down to the problem but looks like that this kind of problem has been faced by many solved by none.

When I run
#dmesg | grep par
PCI: Probing PCI hardware
Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent

and this seems to be causing all the problem.

Please help.

Thanks a ton in advance...

My first question is, does a device with the address of 10.1.0.1 really exist on your network? What is it specifically?

And second, how is this device and your machine connected? Hub, etc???
