    Host not reachable - Please help

    Hi all,

    I have an Ubuntu machine which is connected to two switches, IDMZ and ODMZ. The firewall is also connected to the ODMZ switch. Firewall address is 192.168.1.1. This Ubuntu box has two network cards.

    The machine can be reached from a 63. address but should be able reachable via a 192. address while inside the firewall. The problem is it can ping yahoo.com just fine but can't ping another machine in the same network or even the default gateway: 192.168.1.1

    Here are some outputs:

    Code:
    ifconfig -a

    If I try to ping outside of the firewall, it works just fine but if I ping a box which is located inside the firewall, it won't work:

    Code:
    PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.13 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.13 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.13 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
    Can someone please help me figure this out? I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Some of your output, it looks like you have two gateways defined. You may want to double-check your routing table.

    Thanks for your reply, there are two addresses
    You cannot have 2 default gateways in a correctly-configured network.

    No, what I was trying to say was my Ubuntu box has two NIC, each is connected to a switch. One can see outside of the firewall which is working fine. The other one is supposed to be able to see inside the firewall. The default gateway is 192.168.1.1 which the box cannot see it.

    Therefore all the machines inside the firewall, cannot access this Ubuntu box...I'm guessing something needs to be turned on, such as IP forwarding, etc. i tried:
    sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 but no luck.

    Would someone please help me with this?

    Thanks,
    t

    Code:
    default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth0
default         gateway.[half of the domain name here] 0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth1
    This it not a valid configuration.

    Sorry, I can't remember which command I ran to get that output (I thought uname -rvo returned that but it didn't). The correct output of route -n is:

    root@servername:/# route -n

    Code:
    Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
63.x.x.0         0.0.0.0         255.255.255.128 U     0      0        0 eth1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0           63.x.x.1     0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth0
    please let me know what command I should run again to get that output you were referring to.
    Thanks

    You have two default gateways.
