Network card problem running traceroute

Please help. I have a HP N4000 running HPUX11.0. I have 2 lan cards one is on the company lan (192.1.1.188). the other is attached to a switch with only 2 other servers, no outside connections (200.200.200.10) Here's my problem when I run traceroute to lets say yahoo.com the response I get is:
traceroute to yahoo.com (64.58.79.230), 30 hops max, 20 byte packets
1 pshr (200.200.200.10)

I don't understand why its going to this card. This card isn't even on the network. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated????

200.200.200.10 is just a number I picked. All this card does is talk to 2 other HP's nothing else. It does not touch our network.
The default gateway is 192.1.1.110
Thanks

Re: Network card problem running traceroute

Hi,
It is because you have set a default gateway which is in 200.xxx.xxx.xxx network.

This problem can be overcome by setting Internet gateway as default gateway and adding
a network specific route to your internal network 200.xxx.xxx.xxx

Re: Network card problem running traceroute

Hi,
Does your gateway respond to ping ?.
Ping and traceroute test only the first available route .
If your gateway does not respond to ping then
you will have to do this,
add following entry into /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf
TRANSPORT_NAME[0]=ip
NDD_NAME[0]=ip_ire_gw_probe
NDD_VALUE[0]=0

and this
#ndd -set /dev/ip ip_ire_gw_probe 0

Re: Network card problem running traceroute

First thing. I made a mistake. The address for the first lan is 192.1.1.205 with a layered address of 192.1.1.188 for Service Guard.
As you will see, 200.200.200.10 has a layered 200.200.200.11 for Service Guard.
I've attached the info you asked for. 1 more thing to add The 200 addresses are on lan0 and 192 are on lan1. I don't know if this makes a difference but I want to give as much info as I can. If you can read the attached, send me an email and I will send it to youor include your address. I've never attached a file and I'm not sure I did it right.

Re: Network card problem running traceroute

Yes you can run thos commands w/o impacting the server , but if you are not able to ping to your gateway then how are you seeing the server on the netwrok.


Please post the o/p and may be it helps

Re: Network card problem running traceroute

I did try the ndd -set but I was still unable to ping the default gateway. And in response to your second question I have no idea how I'm seeing the network. everything seems to work ok except for trying to ping, traceroute, netscape, sendmail etc. out of the building. I'm not sure how to post the attactment. Can anyone advise on this.
