host target - does this return the servers IP address?
traceroute target - how many hops away is the server?
ping target - what does it say?
ssh -v target - some systems don't respond to ping but will allow a ssh connection. The -v will make ssh show how far it gets.

$ host 192.168.1.4
Host 4.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
$ traceroute 192.168.1.4
traceroute to 192.168.1.4 (192.168.1.4), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

$ ping 192.168.1.4
PING 192.168.1.4 (192.168.1.4) 56(84) bytes of data.

`ping` never stops...

When I run those on a computer that can connect to the server obvious ping gets a response in like 12ms, traceroute returns something immediately, and ssh asks for the password. The only one that is the same is when I use `host'. I get the same response.

Nope, if I boot into a liveCD I can ping and ssh to the server without a problem. I haven't tried starting up a server on the livecd, however.

Hi all,

I've run into a issue with my current Devuan install on my laptop. When trying to use a program called "qrcp" I found that I was unable to connect to the server that was created in order to do the file transfer. I did a little testing and if I spin up an nginx server, I have the same issue. I also found that I am unable to ping the address of the laptop as well. After even more digging I found that there were certain machines that I was unable to ping _from_ the devuan laptop (making the request while on the laptop pinging outward) namely my actual home server, my phone, and my TVs but I was able to ping everything else.

I've checked for firewalls, iptables, subnet issues, tried joining to different wifis, etc. but nothing seems to fix this issue. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

PS: I do have internet connection although I recently broke NetworkManager in the process of debugging... xD
