cannot ping server after moving to VLAN subnet

Greetings
I had to move a server (HPUX, 11.0) from its 10.2 network to a VLAN on 10.1. I set the new route gateway in netconf. The system does not use dns. I can see other servers in the new vlan but I cannot see other servers in the old network, even though other servers in the vlan CAN. I also cannot ping this server from a server in the old network, though I can ping other servers in the VLAN. What am I missing here? thanks

Re: cannot ping server after moving to VLAN subnet

What does "netstat -rn" say? What are some
of the actual IP addresses?

Re: cannot ping server after moving to VLAN subnet

I have attached netstat -rn for the broken system (10.1.9.10) and the working system (10.1.9.4). The gateway is 10.1.9.1 for both systems as set in netconf. The 10.1.9.4 system can ping 10.2.x.x fine.

Re: cannot ping server after moving to VLAN subnet

Your working system has a default route:

default 10.1.9.1 UG 0 lan0 0

which seems to be lacking on the non-working
system, which has no routes to anything other
than 10.1.x.x.

Re: cannot ping server after moving to VLAN subnet

Also, it's not clear to me that this route on
the non-working system makes any sense:

10.1.0.0 10.1.9.10 U 2 lan0 1500

What did you specify for a netmask on the
address for this system (255.255.0.0?)?
What's it on the working system
(255.255.255.0?)? Note that the working
system's LAN route says:

10.1.9.0 10.1.9.4 U 2 lan0 1500

Worrying: 10.1.9.0 v. 10.1.0.0.

The subnet mask is set in both netconf files as "255.255.255.0" .

I reedited the netconf file thinking maybe it might have a invisible character in the mask string, tried a restart of network services and now it works...Thanks
