July 6, 2025Jul 6 I have changed the server PC and cannot get it to see the internet. - No ping to 8.8.8.8 - it does work on my local network.Have tried several things but not sure where to look next.Ip Address is static as it was beforeDNS is set to 208.67.222.222 secondary 8.8.8.8 - However I can't even ping these from the console....Diagnostics attached.
July 6, 2025Jul 6 Author Solution Ok Problem Solved....This was the solution.After looking up a few more posts, there was one that said to delete/rename network.cnf - So I added ".BAK" to the end, and did a restart.Machine got an address via DNS and bingo it worked.... only thing is I want the static address that I had assigned to it... and Lightbulb moment, I remembered I have a load baqlancing router, and had allocated a static IP to the old server, and that was the IP I wanted to use.... so the new machine was being blocked.Simple solution was to bind the new MAC address to the IP I wanted the new Server to have and BINGO it worked.
