Private network problem after resizing droplets using snapshots

Posted on October 1, 2013

Hi, I had to resize some of my droplets. I used tutorial I have found on site, so I have used snapshot just after removing old droplet so IPs could stay same.

It worked in case of having same IPs on Control Panel. Public network is working without problems, but I have problem with private network. When trying to ping other servers in network I am getting “Destination Host Unreachable”:

ping -c 4 10.128.XXX.XXX PING 10.128.XXX.XXX(10.128.XXX.XXX) 56(84) bytes of data. From 10.128.YYY.YYY icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable From 10.128.YYY.YYY icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable From 10.128.YYY.YYY icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable

— 10.128.XXX.XXX ping statistics — 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 12999ms pipe 3

10.128.XXX.XXX - ip of server with working private network 10.128.YYY.YYY - ip of server which was created from snapshot

I have tried to disable firewall. I have tried to restart them. IPs on not working servers are the same as in Control Panel. Data provided by ifconfig looks good. I have suspected ARP tables on network being wrong, but they should be updated already (it is more than 18 hours now).

Have anyone experienced problem like this? Maybe there is an easy solution I don’t know about?
