BGP-Can't eBGP loopback

I can't ping R3 loopback from R1. All neighbors show established. I have the network in my routing table but fails. I can ping from R1 to R2 and from R2 to R3 but can't from R1 to R3

R1:
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

interface Ethernet3/0
ip address 10.12.0.1 255.255.255.0

router bgp 12
neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 12
neighbor 2.2.2.2 update-source Loopback0

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 10.12.0.2

R2:

interface Loopback0
ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255

    When you're doing pings, think about what the packet looks like. What's the source address and destination address of the echo request? Does the originating router and any router in transit have a route to your destination?

    Then, think about return traffic. What's the source address and destination address of the echo reply? Does that router and any router in transit have a route to make it back?

    Thank you. Once I added to network command on router R2 that solved the problem.
    I added :
    network 172.16.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0
    network 10.12.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0

    I remember this line from a user's signature on this forum:
    Check both the destination and return path when a route fails

    It's quite simple yet incredibly useful to remember at times like these. :)

    use the "ping x.x.x.x source int/ip" command.

    It is likely that your routers didn't know each other transit interfaces.

    Which network statement allowed you to ping R3's loopback from R1 and why?
