Unreachable network

Hi,

I've got a network of a router and two computers, all wired. One of the computers won't ping anything any more.

On a good computer I've got this:

$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:8C:FC:1D:06
inet addr:192.168.1.33 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::21e:8cff:fefc:1d06/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:280 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:354 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:132368 (129.2 Kb) TX bytes:39933 (38.9 Kb)
Interrupt:16 Base address:0xc00

On the bad computer the bold line is absent. My ISP support has run out of ideas, I have not had any in the first place. Any help is appreciated.

Try running the following command to bring the network interface up maybe:

ifconfig eth0 up

In the absence of any details, the best answer is to reconfigure the network interface on the bad computer.

Not sure what your ISP has to do with this, given 192.168.1.x is a Class C private network.

As tomk said, more info is welcome (even mandatory), if you want to get answers that make sense. In the meantime: how did you set up your interface, why don't you try to set it up manually if DHCP doesn't work, and if both don't work, what errors do you see in your logs.

Moving to a more appropriate location.

Thanks, everybody. Good ole reboot did it. That's one problem with Linux: it makes you forget some useful techniques...
