From a fresh install of 7.10 server (x86)...
Selected to Configure network later.
Selected LAMP, OpenSSH, Samba for optional software.
Booted--no issuses.
Edited /etc/network/interfaces to contain
---
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
---
ran /etc/init.d/networking restart to cycle the interfaces. eth0 came up and appeared to be configured correctly.
Pinged google.com, no response. Pinged 192.168.1.1 -- received a response.
Used dhclient for DHCP services to make sure I didn't configure something incorrectly, and it said something about /etc/resolv.conf -- which I don't remember. I pinged google.com again, with no success.
ls /etc | grep resolv # apparently, /etc/resolv.conf didn't exist
touch /etc/resolv.conf # lets make it
dhclient eth0
Now I can ping google.com and other various sites.
This seems like a bug to me. Did I do something wrong? |

Update:
It was also noted here with Dapper Drake

Reading that article, I can assure that the cause was a missing resolv.conf file -- not a firewall or any other issues. |
