No connection after reboot

Posted on April 3, 2015

I rebooted my droplet, as I’ve done before, but now I can’t connect to it with putty and pinging the IP address from outside results in timeout.

I can use the Console Access feature in Digital Ocean website. Executing e.g. ping 8.8.8.8 results in destination host unreachable messages.

Unfortunately I don’t have skills to troubleshoot this problem any further. Any suggestions for the next steps?

I followed this and loaded the latest kernel., https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/no-connection-after-reboot And droplet is pinging now.

But im still not able to ping my domain whose DNS is set to DO IP

Ok rebooted the server again and again ping gone. Bloody hell.

Experiencing the same issue here. A simple reboot from terminal “sudo reboot” caused my server to go nuts. Still no access.
