[Sugar-devel] Cannot connect to internet on school server

[Jerry Vonau]

Now the fun begins....
Can you ping the default gateway (from 'ip route ls') by ip address?
Can you ping 208.118.235.53 (sugarlabs.org)?
If yes to both then check /etc/resolv.conf looking for 'nameserver
172.18.96.1'
If present move /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks to somewhere else and restart
the network.
