Hi all, sorry if my title is not the best, I am not very good at choosing those. Anyway, to the problem. I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 onto my little netbook (Asus EeePC 1001PXD) and have connected it to the network. I have set it on a static IP address of 10.0.0.10. I have setup OpenSSH on it. Here is the problem though. I cannot access it, not even ping it (when I do, it says the destination is unavailable). It can browse the internet on it, but I can not make a connection to it. If I use the network to ping one of the other computers, that computer can then access it... for a short amount of time. I have been fiddling with this and I am unsure how to progress now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated please.
PS: It is using wlan0 as the networking interface because the Ethernet port has no drivers available
I have trouble understanding your question. Are you saying you cannot connect to the PC with SSH?
The Ethernet should work out of the box, no drivers are needed (maybe it's disabled through the BIOS?)
In any case, you should see if you can ping the router (on both computers). ( ping 10.0.0.1)
Also, post the output of: ifconfig (on your 1001PXD)
I cannot access teh netbook from another computer unless the netbook pings that computer first.
SSH is just what I am using to remotely connect to it with.
The ethernet drivers do work because the netbook can still browse the internet without any problems.
I will post a ifconfig once I get back home.
It sounds very much like something is wrong with arp but that's very odd.
Is your router firewall blocking things it shouldn't? Is the OS security software/firewall (on the other PC, not the netbook) blocking things it shouldn't?
