Basically what the title says. Last night I hooked up my server in a data center, but I couldn't get it to connect to the internet. I was given a network address, a usable IP, a netmask, and a gateway. I tried a number of different things with route and the various configs in /etc/sysconfig/network, but couldn't seem to get it working. Running a traceroute confirmed that it was a local problem and not part of the network, since no packets left the box.
This is on a pretty stock text-only 12.3 install recently upgraded to 13.1; all of my testing until now has just been on my home LAN, which didn't need additional configuration. I found some information on Novell's site that detailed a sysconfig routes file, but it looks like that information might be dated.
Any tips? I'll be heading back over there after work today to try and fix it up.
