Why can't I ping workstations from a Novell Server8/7/2009 2:26:02 PM

Hi,

For some reason I can't ping workstation IP addresses from our Novell
servers even though the workstation all login to these servers.

Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks

Dan

The workstations aren't set to not reply to ping? ICMP replies can be turned off
in the Windows Firewall.

Are the workstations and servers located on the same subnet?
If not either may be located behind a router/firewall which doesn't forward ICMP
packets.
Are you able to ping anything at all from the server? What SP version on the
server?

Also double check the servers resolving settings in sys:\etc\resolv.cfg.
Are the correct DNS servers listed as also the correct search domain?

Correct if you ping on name. But the poster stated he can't ping IP
addresses.

True, but then there's also these things like host files, multiple
search domains etc that can be twisting that plain fact a bit, so always
good to check imho ;)

Dan, have you also checked to see what happens when using nslookup?

Cheers,
Wj
