Hi everybody.
I have installed OpenSuse on a HP Proliant Server with 2 NIC interfaces, and once I set both Network Card’s configurations (Static IPs), set up the list of DNS servers and the default gateway everything works perfectly, but sometimes when I shutdown or restart my server I lost my internet connection apparently with no reason, and also sometimes when I can access to the internet with the browser, just pass a while (like an hour) and I lost the internet connection again; when i try to surf the firefox hold on trying to resolve the URL and then told me that cant access the page; but even when I lost my internet connection (or the DNS servers cant resolve me the URLS) I can ping to the IP gateway and also can ping the hosts that have an IP on the same network. The problem can’t be on the DNS servers side because I test the internet connection in a PC connected to the same switch and with the same configuration but a different IP and everything is fine. Finally the last time it happens I execute on a terminal the command ‘route’ to see the routering tables and take like a minute to the OS prompt me the command result, but once it done the internet connection get work’s. Any ideas of what is happening??
I have like 2 weeks trying to fix it but i can’t find out what is wrong.
The NICs have a Static IP both on the same network.
And the default gateway is a router.
I set up the DNS server on the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Thank’s in advance.
