Attached the output report.You didn't even share screenshot or output of the actual ping and it might be useful to share your network configuration. Aside from that Oracle Linux 5(and RHEL5 are not supported anymore, update to a supported version of Oracle Linux or try and contact Oracle support with your problem.
cat /etc/redhat-release /etc/os-release
Sorry, I missed to attach ping detailsIs that the output you get when you try and ping the gateway? Can you share the output of the following?
Code:cat /etc/redhat-release /etc/os-release
No OP is using Rhel5 which has been end of life for a while. What's the output of the following?Did you recently do an update leading to the error? If so, what?
ip a
ip route
Any form of updating. Config change, manual package install, etc.No OP is using Rhel5 which has been end of life for a while.
Its wired. Also a HP Blade server C7000. This server is one of the blades. Cables r IN and shows activity. No update done recently. Restarted, Power cycled many times.I might be off base here, but I see "link detected: no" in the ping image. Are you on a wired or wireless connection? If wired, did you verify the cable is in? I know it seems elementary, but ... it happens.

Also, I assume you have power cycled (turned completely off and back on, not just restarted) the computer?

According to that article to network gui crash is related to a wrong /etc/hosts entree and/or a wrong setting in /etc/sysconfing/networking/profiles/*/ and that it was fixed with an update in 2011. Are there other hosts in that same network that are still able to reach the gateway?Why does system-config-network crash on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ? - Red Hat Customer Portal

Thinking the same thing either bad host or bad Cat5 or bad NICIf nothing has changed the first thing I would do is to check the cable since in one of your other screenshots is says "Link detected: no". Remove both of them en plug them back in until you are sure they are connected. If that doesn't work I would have a look at replacing the nic with another one to see if that network configuration does work on that one.
