After I configured network card with IP I still can not ping out.

[Juan Gonzalez_2]

I modified the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf with the Hostname, Route Destination, route gateway, ip address, subnet mask, and interface name. When I do a netstat -in and also when I look at the lan card from within SAM it shows enable set to 1000 full duplex, I do not see any problems but when I do a lanadmin -x 0 I get the link is down. The server is a rx4640 running HP-UX 11.23. When I try to ping out I get no response. What am I forgetting to do to get this NIC configured?

please paste following output
#ifconfig lan0
#netstat -in
#netstat -rn

are you able to ping from local host ?

Hola Juan,

Anothers commands,

# lanscan
# /usr/contrib/bin/traceroute

rgs,

ran

[Ralph Grothe]

So you did check with linkloop command that the NIC is connected and has a layer 2 link,
and you did check with the ifconfig command that the UP flag is present, and with netstat that there is a routing entry to the local LAN for the configured IP?

Are you running any netfilter (aka firewall) that would drop ICMP packets on the box?

Maybe your box'es IP stack is configured not to reply to broadcast echo requests?

What does this command show?

ndd -get /dev/ip ip_respond_to_echo_broadcast

Sorry, overead that the ping out is failing,
so please ignore my last silly question.

Chauhan,

I can ping the local host. Here is the information you asked for:

All the information seem to be okay and I am not running any ip filters but the server is behind a DMZ which I do not maintain.

On the back of the server I do see link lights on the NIC. When I try to ping the the gateway I get no response.

I resolved the problem.
