I did the ping http://www.google.com and I get this:

ping: unknown host http://www.gmail.com


You should not have added the "http://" when running that command. I'm told that the forum software automatically added that to the other guy's post.
Try again with just
Code:
ping www.gmail.com

It would also help if you show the COMMAND and the RESULTS in your code snips, dumber things have happened when all parties ASSUME that the command is being entered correctly.


He means, when you paste the output of a command we ask you to run, include the part that shows the command:

Code:
server1:~# ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (173.194.115.82) 56(84) bytes of data.

I would bet $5 that your Linode was being used to outbound DoS, and so Linode took action to stop the flow of traffic. As a result of that, you can't access anything over UDP, such as DNS or traceroute (which uses UDP by default). If you resolved the ToS Violation ticket Linode opened to their satisfaction, you should ask them to remove the attack mitigation.

It is accurate.
But the ticket has been closed at least 7/8 days ago.
So I have to ask them?

Boy, he was right dwfreed.
Linode has reset the network configuration manually, it all works now.
I've lost many days for this ...

Thank you to all of my heart for your help.

vincenzo - the lesson here is to always follow up with Linode's tech support. If they had to take action regarding your VPS then they are always a good place to start.

dwfreed - good call and great insight.
