[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana server networking problem.

[Christopher Chan]

Wait, what do you mean by "the gateway ip is the same as your nic address"?

If you cannot ping 8.8.8.8 then you have a routing problem. I don't know 
what kind of setup you have got but I'd usually assign Internet 
addresses directly to the server and not assign private addresses and 
then use network address translation.

"We have a modem from the ISP that gives us 5 static IP Addresses."

"The last person I spoke to at the ISP's support said she reconfigured the modem so it should route all the static IP's to the router."

The 'modem' you speak of sounds more like a router. 5 static ip 
addresses is the correct number of usable ip addresses in an 8 ip subnet 
where two are lost as the network and broadcast address and one will be 
used by the router.

You should ask your ISP for 1) the ip address of the router and 2) ask 
them to set things back to normal on that router - no dhcp, none of this 
weird NAT setup that you are using. You should be the one assigning the 
static Internet addresses to your servers and not playing roulette with 
dhcp.
