Hi,

Please check if firewall is enabled on it..

#iptables -A

if enabled, flush out the firewall..

#iptables -F

For more information see man firewall..

cheers

Please, can you explain a little better, for example:

I'm on server1 and I cannot ping server2. I can ping server2 from another machines but I cannot ping server1.

As stated above, stop the firewall:

service iptables stop

Ensure that your ip address/network mask configuration is correct.

Can you post a traceroute of the route that won't let the ping through? I'd be willing to bet that your default route isn't set right on the source machine...

hi guys,

the ip to which iam not able to ftp is a backup lan ip and the source server doesnot have the app lan.so a normal routing has resolved the problem..

thanks for all..
