Here is a workaround for Ubuntu/Debian Based VPS Network Issue not up after install or re-install.
There is a bug/issue for Debian/Ubuntu not having the network not automatically configured when fresh installed. Here is a simple guide to work-around it.
Login to your Solusvm VPS Control Panel and Access the Serial Console
Once you are at the terminal
$ vi /etc/network/interfacesor nano if it is pre-installed
add the following configurations
auto venet0
iface venet0 inet static
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.255
broadcast 0.0.0.0
up route add -net 192.0.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev venet0
up route add default gw 192.0.2.1
auto venet0:0
iface venet0:0 inet static
address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX # your assigned public IP
netmask 255.255.255.248
broadcast 0.0.0.0
Save the file and invoke the command to restart network.
$ service network restartor
$ /etc/init.d/network restartTo test the new configuration ping any known domain from the terminal
$ ping yahoo.comThere should be a reply that you are online
Now you are online you might want to update your repo
$ apt-get update && apt-get upgradeYou might also want to test it connecting via SSH
