Hi Lisa, It may be a subnet mask issue - It sounds like traffic for the 62.x.x.x isn't being routed outside of your local network.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lisa Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 8:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ping problem Hi, last week I used ip-aliasing to bind a virtual address to the external card of my firewall machine. i.e. I bound the ip 62.17.173.10(virtual ip) to the MAC address of 62.17.173.173 (firewall ex. card) Since then, I have noticed that we cannot ping any external ip addresses that are not in our range, beginning with 62.x.x.x. eg. I tried to ping the address 62.40.32.57 (www.o2.ie), but the request timed out. I dont have any problems pinging any other external ips (eg. google) Could this problem be related to the ip-aliasing that I did ?
