Need more information...Like you are pinging the workstation from the cross cable connected PC or from other machine on the network. I will focus less on the routing if you are connecting it through cross cable.
also, is there something in the /etc/rc.log which shows when network interfaces came up?

Hello Anshumali,

Thanks for the quick rely

I am trying to ping directly with cross cable(worstation <--> PC) ,or can say directly with PC.
and have not seen in rc.log,what type of messages will I need to check in this file.

Best Regards,
LN

Start checking along these lines:

Configure HP igelan Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S305hpigelan start":
======
This is just for possible clues. On Server, What is the status of network interfaces before they start to respond to ping? Is there any difference if you use IP instead of name from your PC to ping it?

hi ,


is there DNS configured?


check DNS file entry!

any fake entry will also cause such problem.

What is this address? Did you say that this is a two workstation network with a simple crossover cable?

> 80.0.0.223, subnet-mask 255.0.0.0

Is there a reason to use a class A address with room for 16 million IP addresses? Why not use 192 through 223 as your first octet as in 200.0.0.223 with 255.255.255.0 as your subnet mask?

> netconf...

What else is in netconf, specifically routing information? With a simple crossover cable, you don't any routes.

hi,

is that the only details in the netconf file?

what about the network that Bill queried?
192.168.....

Also what does the /etc/hosts file contain?have you added the network address of the PC, which is what?

have you updated this? or how did you configure the network? with commandline or sam?

and has the network deamon been stopped and restarted since modifications
