Perhaps you should try 127.0.0.1 instead.

Just a quick question have you just upgraded your os from 5.1.2 or 5.5?

The reason why i ask is that our server has been sitting in the same comms cabinet for years, it had NT on it, E-smith 4.1.2 then 5.0 then 5.1.2 all running without a hitch.

About a week ago we upgraded to 5.6 and like you we had all the services running but couldn't ping anything internal or external. I know this sounds daft but if you have 2 nic cards try swapping the cables around then do another ping.

Thats what we did and guess what it's working now. We have a red cable for the outside and a green for the internal so we couldnt have got them mixed round the wrong way. after the install it seems to have swapped it's self around. I know it sounds daft but that's what happend to us.

Just a thought Calvin no harm giving it a try.

Kind Regards

Adserg
