Public bug reported: I recently upgraded my ubuntu desktop pc from 11.04 to 11.10, upon completing the update I tried to ssh into one of my servers on the internet (a vps, its address is vps.p-s-e.tk) however I got the message 'no route to host'.
I then tested the connection by pinging the vps.p-s-e.tk and all pings came back perfectly not one packet lost, I then tried nmap sudo nmap vps.p-s-e.tk which came back with the expected ports (including 22) marked as open I then tried telneting to port 22 and got the same response 'Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host' ' thinking this may have been a problem with just this pc I installed ubuntu 11.10 on a separate pc and with a fresh install got the exact same response note, the access problem occurs for all attempts to connect to the server ie imap smtp http https etc the client can connect to other servers / sites on the web ie google (note I can still access/ ssh into the server (vps.p-s-e.tk) via other linux/windows/android pcs/devices on the same lan segment ie 10.6.111.*) having searched around the web for a fix for this problem I came across a series of threads that in the end lead me to totally remove apparmor from the pc (I don't know why it had come back as I had totally removed it long before the update to 11.10) however this did not solve the problem also of note is that I host a web page off my home internet connection and it cant access that from the pc either, again nmap shows the port as open but nothing can seem to get to it ie telnet returns 'Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host' ------------------- notes the client pc address is 10.6.111.238 other pcs can ssh into the client pc (Im sshd in from my mac right now) this problem affects all user accounts on the pc inc root ipv6 has been disabled --------------------- root@xr34lind2:/home/james# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 ---------------------- root@xr34lind2:/home/james# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.6.111.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 10.6.111.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 ---------------------- ping examples root@xr34lind2:/home/james# ping vps.p-s-e.tk PING vps.p-s-e.tk (98.126.57.67) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 98.126.57.67.static.customer.krypt.com (98.126.57.67): icmp_req=1 ttl=54 time=140 ms >From brd4-vlan399.**************** (************): icmp_seq=2 Redirect >Host(New nexthop: brd3-vlan399.************* (**********)) root@xr34lind2:/home/james# ping www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (173.194.65.147) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ee-in-f147.1e100.net (173.194.65.147): icmp_req=1 ttl=50 time=18.3 ms >From brd4-vlan399.*********** (**************): icmp_seq=2 Redirect Host(New >nexthop: brd3-vlan399.****************(***********)) some parts redacted for security reasons ---------------------- examples >>telneting google on port 80 james@xr34lind2:~$ telnet www.google.com 80 Trying 173.194.65.104...
