Cannot ping router with a static IP assigned?
- by Uriah
Alright. I am running Ubuntu LTS 12.04 and am trying to configure a local caching/master DNS server so I am using Bind9.
First, here are some things via default DHCP:
/etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# The primary network interface - STATIC
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.2.113
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# network 192.168.2.0
# broadcast 192.168.2.255
# gateway 192.168.2.1
# dns-search uclemmer.net
# dns-nameservers 192.168.2.113 8.8.8.8
/etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

As you can see, with DHCP everything seems to work fine.
Now, here are things with static IP:
/etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface

#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# The primary network interface - STATIC
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.113
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.2.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
gateway 192.168.2.1
dns-search uclemmer.net
dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1 8.8.8.8
I have tried dns-nameservers in various combos of *.2.1, *.2.113, and other reliable, public nameservers.
/etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.2.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
search uclemmer.net
Obviously, when I change the nameservers in the /etc/network/interfaces file, the nameservers change here too.

I can SSH in to the machine locally at *.2.113 or at whatever address is dynamically assigned when in DHCP "mode". *2.113 is in my router's range and I have ports open and forwarding to the server. Pinging is enabled on the router too. I briefly had a static configuration working but it died after the first reboot.
Please let me know what other info you might need. I am beyond frustrated/baffled.
