linux ping: unknown host 的解决方法

如果某台Linux服务器ping不通域名, 如下提示:

# ping www.baidu.com
ping: unknown host www.baidu.com

如果确定网络没问题的情况下, 可以通过如下步骤寻找解决办法:

1) 确定设置了域名服务器, 没有的话, 建议设置Google的公共DNS服务, 它应该不会出问题的

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
-------------------------------------------------------------------
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------

2) 确保网关已设置

# grep GATEWAY /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:GATEWAY=192.168.40.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ps:ubuntu 10.3 找不到此文件，也许版本不对

3) 确保可用dns解析

# grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
-------------------------------------------------------------------
hosts: files dns
-------------------------------------------------------------------

如果以上哪个有问题, 修正后, 再测试, 应该就没问题了:

#ping -c 3 www.baidu.com
