I have /etc/conf.d/net:

Code:

config_enp1s0="192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.0.0"
routes_enp1s0="default gw 192.168.0.1"
dns_servers_enp1s0="75.75.75.75 75.75.76.76"

I can ping/ssh the machine from itself but not from elsewhere. It also has a dynamically assigned IP address, which I can ping/ssh from elsewhere.

What did I miss?

audiodef,

Too many default routes?
Several routes to the same place, so that incoming packets arrive at one IP and responses are returned from another

Look at the output of

Code:

route

and

Code:

route -n

This is very strange. What is the ouput of "ifconfig -a" ?
Are you also running something else that might give you a dynamic address?

How about your router? Is it configured to assign addresses?
