I got a GPG error on the apt-get update a couple of times, so I tried sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0 a couple of times. Then I rebooted the machine and tried to update the package manager again, and it still didn't work.
These results seem familiar; I think I had the same error when I tried to connect the test web server to the internet before Ed filed the ticket with the IT help desk, which suggests that we may have given the wrong MAC address or IT messed up the configuration. Still, I checked all of the configuration files. I only noted a couple of differences between the test web server network interface and this web server network interface:
# The IP addresses are different. The test web server has an address that starts with 128, but this webserver has an address that starts with 10. (Ed thinks this is a sign that this webserver's IP address limits it to the Rice network).
# The subnet masks are different. The test web server has a subnet mask that ends in 240, but this webserver has a mask that ends in 0.
# The test webserver has a DNS domain name (i.e. the output of hostname -d) of attlocal.net. This webserver doesn't have one. I tried adding it (by editing /etc/hosts), but that change alone didn't help.
Interesting side note: going into the mobo BIOS menu, under "Server Mgmt" there is a submenu "BMC network configuration" that shows the MAC address for "DM_LAN1" as ending in de, whereas the MAC address for eth0 ends in dc (otherwise, the two MAC addresses are the same). So maybe the mobo is interfering with the MAC address?
