My droplet must have rebooted because all of a sudden the network stopped working on it. I’ve tried several things. I can access it via the console, but i’m unable to ping it’s ip, nor am I able to ping 8.8.8.8 from inside the droplet itself.
I have a support ticket out, but they haven’t answered me in over 2 days so I’m getting desperate. Here are a few of the commands they asked me to send them.
$ iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
$ iptables -t nat -L
same thing as above except PREROUTING and POSTROUTING are there too
$ ip route
default via 104.236.128.1 dev eth0
10.12.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.122.0.5
104.236.128.0/18 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src {MY IP which starts with 104.236 but then is different from the gateway}
$ ip addr show
this has an lo and an eth0, but i'm not going to type it out :)
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

I’ve made it a point to keep two snapshots of each droplet. After I take a snapshot, I reload that snapshot instead of booting. That is, I want to know that the snapshot is bootable and hopefully functional.
I say hopefully functional because daemonized (sp) programs sit in ram and sometimes don’t work when reloaded. I only mention this because I’m in amavisd-new hell, or more correctly, perl5 hell.
Specific to your problem, the ifconfig as someone requested would be useful. When I screw up the network, generally my IP does not appear in inconfig even though the vtnet is present.
