Eth0 is an hp hardware and disconnected
Eth1 a accton , presumably the add in card but it’s state is inknown, check your cableing and see if you have any traffic on it
tcpdump -i eth1
If nothing try another nic
whole bunch of stuff.

traceroute succeeds with 15 hops at google-public-dns
ping yahoo also succeeds.
However, I can still not ping the machine, no softphones connect to it and inbound calls ring three times then get busy signal
Also. I can not ping other computers on the same network.
If you are using Windows from cmd do
tracert 192.168.1.106
Post what you get.

I just changed the ifg-eth1 file. I changed from static to dhcp and removed the IPADDR line. it drew ip 192.168.1.107 on reboot and I was able to ping the machine. I also got GUI. I’ve just replaced previous settings and waiting on reboot now. Fingers crossed!
edit
that did not work. trying change to static ip of 107
fingers crossed!
Ok! So I have set the new static IP and everything expect for inbound calls is working. I can access GUI, soft phones are connecting, outbound calling works…
Inbound calls ring three times then go to busy signal.
All help is appreciated. I need to be awake in 6 hours to start answering phone calls…
Thank You,
John
Somehow a reboot from GUI miraculously has this system working! I’ll have to give it some time to see if the original failure is a thing of the past, but for now - it’s working.
well about an hour and still no issues. we’ll see what happens after sleeping for a few hours… Oh please God help this machine.
Thank you all for all of your help through this very difficult time.
Best Regards,
John
Nope! It was working at 8:30 no problems. Now I called inbound at 11am and again, rings three times then I get busy signal. Again. An outbound call has inbound working again.
When this is happening I still have access via GUI and can still ping the server. I’m guessing that it has nothing to do with the network card. There must be another problem. Maybe something getting hung up in asterisk itself. Any ideas?
Thank You,
John
The kernel message appears again?
