Great questions... Let me get some more dig information for you (/etc/hosts file information and output from netstat -rn and all that).
One thing to note though, is that since I cannot get the UNIX machines on the net, I did go to HP's site and downloaded some .depot files to install Gnome and Netscape 7 on my HP box and I did it on my Windows machine and FTP'd them from there to my HP-UX machine FROM the HP-UX machine (in a command line FTP session to my Windows FTP Server). Ack... I am getting off topic... Anyhow, I will get you some more diag information for you to work with. I guess I should have done that first, but I just needed to vent... LOL! Thanks!

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?
