Launched a new Ubuntu Linode and it doesn't seem to have network
I just launched a new instance and I can't get in via SSH. Went to the Lish and I am able to login with the root credential but the instance appears to have no network connectivity.
I can't ping any ips and of course no DNS.

What IP are you using with SSH?
Ping does use not a port but a protocol. Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and waiting for an ICMP echo reply. However, as a security consideration, this is often disabled. There are other utilities you can use to run a ping like test for TCP/UDP.
See this… or establish a support tix.
