Elrond can't reach internet

[Lou Garavaglia]

Did a dhclient to get an ip

[root@elrond ~]# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:49:F1:2D

Seems like I should be able to ping google...

[root@elrond ~]# ping 74.125.45.100

Any ideas?

Tried pinging around and things started working all of sudden. Go figure.

Lou,

That happened to me last week as well. I was sure I had everything right. What worked for me was closing vmware and reopening it. Something was confused.
