[old stuff deleted]Netstat -rn is the same in Unix and so is netconf -a, but I think this is more if a router issue than Unix due to having taken the box to a house that has a Linksys Router set up and it working with the settings as is. We changed his entire network to match mine in IP addressing of the router and all that.
So, with this done, I take my HP to his place and plug it in and it works (after configuration) and bring it home, and it does not. He is running the same ISP as I and we verified that his is all working with the same configuration as my network (DNS settings and all that from the ISP).
The only uncommon element in this is the Router. Since neither one of my UNIX boxes can get out (especially since the Sun box used to before I moved to the Dachstein router), I can only conclude there is SOMETHING that is needed on the Dachstein setup.
I would like to figure it out since I LOVE this router and really do not want to have to go to something like the Linksys... :o)
You could be right, although just what that "SOMETHING" might be is not immediately apparent. Nor is it likely to become apparent unless you give us some diagnostics to work with. We're troubleshooters, not psychics. No matter where the trouble is, a report like "ping fails with 'no route to host'" is more likely to identify it than "the host can't ping".
The 5 items on my prior list would help in sorting through the possibilities, as would the standard list of router diagnostics that you can get from the SR FAQ. I suggest once more that you provide us with that info, so we have a bit more to think about than a bare "it doesn't work" report.
One wild-card thought ... I'm used to icmp pings, but I have a hazy memory that some HP-UX hosts used some sort of a tcp "ping" at one time. Is it possible that your Unix hosts do something unusual with pings? Have you tried anything other than ping ... say accessing any of the common services ... from them? What happens with traceroute?
