Hi,
I have an old RH9 box that suddenly stopped responding to pings( there might be a restart in the process, but I am not sure)
I cannot also ping out from the machine to other on the same network, but surprisingly I can ping outside.
I suspceted the iptables are involved in the process.
I never used/configured iptabels on that machine
when I issued "ifup eth0" I got messages saying "ip tabels (c) Netfilter core team"
so I removed the iptables packages, but that did not help.
when I try to ping into the same network I get (<box IP address) "destination is unreachable"
I can ping the gateway and to the machine itself.
kernel is 2.4.20-31.9 from rh.
could it be that iptables left something on the machine?
Hi Alon, If you suspect that iptables are involved check that you don't have any iptables modules running. run: lsmod|grep iptable
