    unable to ping linux server

    Hi,

    I have a linux server.
    I am not able to ping this server.
    The message that I am getting when I try to ping this server from my machine is

    Pinging 172.26.134.167 with 32 bytes of data:
    Reply from 172.26.134.176: Destination host unreachable.
    Reply from 172.26.134.176: Destination host unreachable.
    Reply from 172.26.134.176: Destination host unreachable.
    Reply from 172.26.134.176: Destination host unreachable.
    .....


    where 172.26.134.176 is the IP of my machine and 172.26.134.167 is the IP of the linux server.

    Latest change that we have made to network configuration is,we deleted eth0_bkp from network configuration-->devices .
    I believe this is causing the problem,since everything was working fine before making this change.

    Please help me resolve this issue.

    Thanks,
    Rushi

    For your information,

    When I executed mii-tool command on the server it showed the following output.

    SIOCGMIIREG on eth0 failed : Input/Output error
    eth0:negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control,link OK

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    mii-tool is obsolete, unless your server is REALLY out-of-date. Try ethtool instead.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
