[Solved] Server is not responding

Hi guys,

i have a network problem with my server.
After a reboot the server did not came back to the net.
Fortunalety my Prover offers a Rescue System through which i could log into my maschine
After looking through the logs and checking ifconfig (with cron) i came to the result that my maschine did work "correct"
The Server boots up correct and even becomes his ip, but he was still not responding.

The only difference between the ifconifg of the server and the rescue system on the server was the broadcast-address.
On the non responding Server it was 89.255.255.255 meanwhile the one of the rescue system was going 2 levels deeper. (e.g. 89.1.2.255)

Is this the reason why my Server is not responding and how can i fix this or could it be another problem.

If you miss some information, tell my which so i can try to add them to this topic.

When you say that it isn't responding, do you mean that some service isn't working (like it doesn't serve web pages) or that there is nothing at that address, period? Can you ping the server?

The ifconfig of the rescue-system looks like this:

That seems a bit weird. Try using the following:

i do not know how i reach the gateway,
unfourtunaly i am not very familiar with routing and net configuring.
It used to be simple, most times with an dhcp daemon, so I had no problems.

But this time it is weired.

It seems like your last suggestion did not help, oh damn.

If you tell me how I can check the routing in more detail I can do this, there is still the working rescue system

Well, post the output of the following:

There's some puzzling info in the following:

oh i am so angry.... sorry..

i reinstalled the whole server, and it worked, even with all three ip adresses through the gateway i used at the beginning....
yeah it worked.... worked until i particulary updated the system
no reply from the server.... i dunno where the fault is.. i mean the config seems to be correct, because it routed once correct. once before update, could one of the updated ebuild or one of the replaced configs be the error?
i made a backup of the /etc dir before using etc-update, also i did not update a lot of ebuild (in detail all dependencies belonging to gcc and module-init-tools)
perhaps i will undo this updates to see where the fault is in detail.

is it possible to make a more detail log of the eth0 device including the routing
84.16.224.1 as the gateway does not work

oh this thing is so damn frustrating

the route:

Please post your complete /etc/conf.d/net file again.

ifconfig from the server before the update

writing back the backup of /etc before etc-update did not help either, so it is not a config files fault.

Hmm, are you certain about your host and gateway IP addresses? Have you verified that with your provider?

the problem is solved, i talked to the support and they checked the server.
a defect ram module caused problems,

this is very annoying, because i spent 3 weeks for nothing.

by the way: does anybody know a tool which can check the hardware of the whole computer (hard-discs, ram, etc)

and thanks to all you guys for helping me with this issue.
