Hello all. This morning I started my ICND2 studies with CBT Nuggets.
One of the first tasks to do is to create a simple network topology, which is easy for me to do.
If you will please refer to the attached topology I can better explain the issue I am getting. I have configured the network exactly as shown, and the network is 99% functional.
My problem is when I try to ping the host 192.168.1.50 host off the switch from R3 the Pings never work. The 1.50 host can be pinged sucesfully from R1 and R2 and the switch, but not from R3.
I can ping R3 and anything else from the 1.50 host and it will work, but the 1.50 host cannot receive pings from router 3.
I built this topology originally using my actual hardware which I tore down and built twice with the same issue.
I then built the same topology in Packet Tracer and it worked with no problems. R3 could ping the 1.50 host on my first try.
I am lost at this point. I have been working on this for 3 hours, and I am about at whits end.. lol
Here is a list of some things I did to try and solve the issue:
1. Changed the default gateway back and forth between the R1 and R2's ethernet interfaces.
2. Traceroute - A trace route from R3 stops at R2's 192.168.2.1 s0/0 interface
3. rebuilt the network several times
4. tried a different computer/host
______________________
My last guess at this trying to think out of the box is that a Windows 7 machine is configured to not respond to pings from foreign networks. Hince R3 is a foreign network 192.168.2.0 network Vs 192.168.1.0 network. I know setting network devices to not respond to pings is a common thing to do.
I did not post any Show Runs etc, but if anybody needs more info just let me know.
Thanks for any advice, and until then I am going to do some book studying vs labbing!
Thank you
