These look like networking questions, not software installation. Redirecting to networking-discuss. >> If I tried sending ICMP request to multicast address by following command: >> ping 224.0.0.0 from my laptop, I didn’t get response from server1. (as the >> above parameters are enabled, I need to get response) Did you try 224.0.0.1? I don't think there's any automatic use of 224.0.0.0. >> If I tried sending ICMP request to broadcast address by following command: >> ping 10.191.2.255 from my laptop, I didn’t get response from server1. (as >> the > above parameters are enabled, I need to get response) I think that's because the interface is misconfigured. You have: inet 10.0.1.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.191.2.255 You have the broadcast address configured to be on a completely different network. That's not possible. If that subnet mask is correct, then the broadcast should (must, really) be 10.0.0.255. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
