Ping Driving me Crazy....

[Larry Brown]

If that doesn't work, do a...

service iptables stop

and then try the ping tests.  You are pinging from internal windows machines
to the internal nic of the linux box right?  If the pings then successfully
work ( as I expect they will ) there is a problem with your firewall rules.
If you cannot ping from the windows boxes on the internal network to the
internal nic of the linux box after stopping iptables, since you already
re-installed the nic, I would tend to think there is a problem with the nic
configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth1.  If shutting down
iptables doesn't allow successfull pings, post to the list the ifcfg-eth1
file mentioned.

# IGNORE ICMP BROADCASTS
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts

Try changing that line it's the only one that refers to icmp request.
Just 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts'
I don't even have this file. What version OS are you running?

absolutely right, I have a standby Windows 2000 Advanced server with ISA
installed for the same operation and the same network, and when Linux server
breaks down I put this server up, and I am facing no issues with it...so
there has to be something wrong on the Linux Box which I am not able to
figure out.I am an fan of Linux and when stuff like this happens it really
upsets me...hence these discussions!!
