have 3 hp switches each segmented into a 224 subnet. Have my linux laptop configured for the first network
192.168.1.32 1st network
192.168.1.64 2nd network
192.168.1.71 my box netmask 255.225.225.224 bcast 192.168.1.95
192.168.1.96 2nd network
ping 192.168.1.75 no joy
run tcpdump and I see all the network traffic thru eth0
open another window while tcpdump is running and ping 192.168.1.75
no joy although I can see the requests from another machine running tcpdump on the same network segment.
ipconfig -a eth0 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.225.225.224 bcast 192.168.1.95
plug it into that segment
ping 192.168.1.102
works fine.
192.168.1.75 can ping and be pinged from other machines. The port on the switch is not locked down in any way.
Any ideas?
thanx,
bill
