I'm trying to configure my dorm room network. I'm working on ubuntu. It seems that the dorm building has a host as gateway 192.168.22.254
.
My route -n
looks like this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.22.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.22.254 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
I can't ping 192.168.22.254
.
$ ping 192.168.22.254

--- 192.168.22.254 ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 6014ms
But I can ssh to a school server with an ip like 202.XXX.XXX.XXX
, and gain internet access from that server.
- Is this normal?
- I'm desperate for some basic network knowledge, are there any good books or web resources?
Thanks!
