Hi, Chadha: Originally, you said:
> I have a linux box with 2 NIC cards, both are properly configured. > Both are on the same subnet, but still don't ping to one another!! You do not show how you attempt the 'ping', nor the error message. Please show exact ping command attempt. I was hoping for something like: ---------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping -c 4 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 octets data 64 octets from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=127 time=1.6 ms 64 octets from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=1.4 ms 64 octets from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=1.4 ms 64 octets from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=1.3 ms --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 1.3/1.4/1.6 ms The above (LAN) IP address is my hardware router, a DLink DI-604. --------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ping -c 4 68.74.221.208 PING 68.74.221.208 (68.74.221.208): 56 octets data 64 octets from 68.74.221.208: icmp_seq=0 ttl=127 time=1.6 ms 64 octets from 68.74.221.208: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=1.4 ms 64 octets from 68.74.221.208: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=1.4 ms 64 octets from 68.74.221.208: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=1.4 ms --- 68.74.221.208 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 1.4/1.4/1.6 ms ------------------------------------------------------------ The above is the IP address that my ISP gives my router. So, again, exactly how does 'ping' fail? Chuck "Chadha, Devesh" wrote: > > Well my reason for not giving is that it is a public IP and does not have > any firewalls in place.
