Network problem, can't ping other machines on same network

Network problem, can't ping other machines on same network

Post by Maio Dominiqu » Fri, 23 Oct 1998 04:00:00



Hi,

I setup a machine with RH 5.1 in a small LAN. All seems to work fine. My

network card is correctly recognised by the system but I can't ping
other's computers.
So, if I ping my own machine (eg : 192.168.55.1 or 127.0.0.1)
everything's ok but when I try to ping
an other machine (eg :192.168.55.2 or 192.168.55.3...) nothing hapens.
My network setting are

IP : 192.168.55.1
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
SubNet :192.168.55.0
Gateway :  none or default (0.0.0.0)

It is not the first time I setup a Linux machine and I never encountered

this problem before. But of course, I'm not realy a Linux Guru......

Any idea on this ?
Thank you.

P.S. : Sorry for my bad english

1. D-link DE220 can PING his own IP, but can't PING others'

I installed a linux (kernel 2.2.5-1) with a DE220 ISA NIC (of cause PnP).
When I finished the network configuration(IP 192.9.200.133)and connect it
to the LAN I'm using, I find I can only PING 192.9.200.133. When I PING
other IPs such as 192.9.200.1(It does work well or say "alive"), the
result is "request time out". I check /etc/conf.modules, alias is right:
"alias eth0 ne; option ne io 0x240 irq 10". I also
check /etc/sysconfig/network, is normally show: "networking=yes... IPv4
forward = no...". All the things seems good, but I still can't ping
anyother IP address in my LAN. What's the problem? Can you help me?
