Configused with ping response

[Amit Dixit_2]

Hi,
I have installed an HP-UX server on L Class
H/W and configure the netconf.

I am able to ping entire network through
that server but cannot ping that server
from any of my machines on the network.

What could be the possible reason for this.

Thanks,
Amit

Hi,

think you're missing the default gateway entry
look with
netstat -rn
if you don't see an entry with
destination gateway
default

then you can create it with
route add default

This should do the trick

Are you trying to ping with an alias or IP address?

If you are trying with an alias name you must include it in a global resolution technique like a DNS. In other case you must define it in each node's hosts file, not recommended.

If you are trying with an IP address check any firewall/router restriction.

Hi

surely you are missing gateway or gateway IP may wrong

#netstat -rn

check for default gateway

to correct this

#route add default < Gateway IP>

[Petr Simik_1]

it's recomendet to configure netconf by #set_parms it avoids you to make mistake in netconf.

Do you use DHCP or static IP?

Hi

can you ping the server from itself

Also

Ping another machine with the -ov option

ping -ov othermachine 64 3

Does the answer come back the same way.

Do the other machines resolve the name properly

see nslookup lclassname on other machines
and on the lclass

do it for both the system name and ip

do you get the same results


Finally

Are there errors in /var/adm/syslog/syslog;log

Hi,
Now I am able to ping to the server but
when I telnet to it
CONNECTION REFUESD

Why is it so ??

Thanks
Amit

[Steve Steel]

Hi

The telnet client supplies an ip address to the server as connection is being
established

If the dns system has any trouble getting a good host name it refuses

There should be an error in

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hi again,

Any Telnet deny restriction into /var/adm/inetd.sec file?

For detailed info about "man inetd.sec"

Rgds.
