Im sorry, you're right, my explanation was not very clear. the inside network is 192.168.0.0/24 and all devices on that network are hosts. the addresses for the list you have below is. lets say
250.100.100.254/24 (DSL gateway) 250.100.100.238/24 (Static IP assigned to me from pacbell assigned to e0 to) 250.100.100.230/24 (for fun my printer) I can, from any host on the 192.168.0.0/24 (inside network [192.168.0.1 e0 secondary) successfully ping .238 and .230 but not .254 from the router I can successfully ping everything including the gateway (.254). if I can ping .238 and the printer .230 from the inside network (which means that the 2501 is resolving or routing those addresses on the outside network) I don't understand why .254 in unreachable (times out) here is the config Router3#show conf using 886 pit pf 32762 bytes ! version 11.2 no service password-encryption no service udp-small-servers no service udp-small-servers ! hostname Router3 ! enable secret 5 $1$llkfflkaiey.ddfakdjfadlkjrlll enable password cisco ! no ip domain-lookup ! interface ethernet0 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 secondary ip address 250.100.100.238 255.255.255.0 no mop enabled ! interface Serial0 no ip address ! interface Serial1 no ip address ! ip classless ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 250.100.100.254 ! banner login ^C What in the hell do YOU want? ^C banner motd ^C By the way...how do you say "Elway" in pig latin? ^C ! line con 0 line aux 0 line vty 0 4 password cisco login ! end Router3# --- Ole Drews Jensen wrote: > Maybe it's just me, but I'm a little confused here. > > As far as I can read on your e-mail, you have the > following: > > On network 192.168.0.0 / 24 > > 192.168.0.230 Printer > 192.168.0.238 Router > 192.168.0.254 Gateway > > If you ping from the inside network to any of the > three devices (above), the > router should not route anything, because you're > pinging to the same network > you're on. > > I am not sure how exactly your whole setup is, but > you should check that the > subnet mask is / 24 (or 255.255.255.0) on all > devices on the 192.168.0.0 > network. > > Send the config from the router and gateway, plus a > description on how all > these things are connected. > > Hth, > > Ole > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Ole Drews Jensen > Systems Network Manager > CCNP, MCSE, MCP+I > RWR Enterprises, Inc. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > http://www.RouterChief.com > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > NEED A JOB ??? > http://www.oledrews.com/job > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Mairs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 10:57 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: can't ping an address from anywhere but the > router itself > [7:30316] > > > Hi, > > I have DSL with a static IP address/24. the gateway > address is x.x.x.254 and the static IP/24 address > that > I have assigned the router is x.x.x.238. for fun I > assigned x.x.x.230 to my printer. > > all addresses on the inside network are > 192.168.0.x/24. > > I can ping x.x.x.238 and x.x.x.230 but not x.x.x.254 > from the inside network. > > I can ping x.x.x.254 from the router (2501 with > secondary ethernet) > > I can't understand why the router will route to the > printer (x.x.x.230) but not the gateway (x.x.x.254) > > I am confused about my router's prejudicial ways. > > any thoughts > > ===== > John L.
