Re: A pinging problem

[Rob Dixon <robertsdixon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks for all the answers. I should have explained that I am only
using internal IPs for the pings e.g. 192.168.0.5. and I was getting
“request timed out”.

I didn't necessarily think that it was an IBM i problem but I couldn't work
out what it was. As the network hadn't been changed (or so I thought!),
and, as I could ping from client access, it seemed more likely to be a
server problem. But your joint suggestions made me look again, and I found
that the router had been changed. So this is the problem, and I need to
find out when it was changed and by whom. I wonder how the client access
ping bypassed the router settings? Many thanks.
