[SOLVED] ssh / ping fails on hosts connected to the internal network

[Behelit]

Hello all. I just converted from Windows Vista to Fedora 17 and there is a problem I'm having. I have a linux server on my internal network that I normally ssh into using Putty in Windows. However, when I boot up into Fedora 17 on the same computer, I cannot ping or ssh into the SAME SERVER using the terminal. How come?

What are the errors you are getting?

Argh, false alarm. When I reset my router and server, the stupid internal ip changed. When I used the right ip, everything was cool. *head desk*

I have run into that problem before as well.

What I do now is on machines where I dual boot Windows/linux I make sure to give those static network addresses and make certain that the Windows and linux address is the same. (If you have a router that can assign the network address depending upon MAC address, then that would be better than manually configuring both to be the same.)
