Ping fails, Ping -R working

Post by Arano » 2015/09/22 15:53:40

Hi !

I've some trouble here.
From a CentOS 6.5 server (named A), i'm unable to ping another machine (say "B"), but ping -R and traceroute works perfectly fine !
The address of the srv is 192.168.1.10 and B's 192.168.2.8. Each on different Vlan, linked by a router (IPs : 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1)

When I do "ping 192.168.2.1" from A, i've absolutly no output. On another CentOS 6.6, i've ONE unique reply.

When I do "ping -R 192.168.2.1", I get the routes with reply every interval :
NOP
RR: 192.168.1.10
192.168.2.1
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.10
With same routes following.

Traceroute respond immediatly.
192.168.1.1
192.168.2.8

On the same subnet / vlan 192.168.1.0/24 a Windows machine ping correctly.

I have not copied the results because theses machines aren't linked to the Net, but if necessary I can transfert the output through text files.
The reals IP aren't 192.168.0.0 but are more like 124.149.0.0, but i doubt it could be Class stuff... ?

With "Tcpdump -A icmp", the reply packet is well seen, and maybe slightly different from others ping reply, but I haven't great knowledge in this.

Is iptables configured to allow ping responses?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Iptable allow everything.
The server has no trouble to ping other machines.

No, the server that you are pinging, not the one you are pinging from.

A debian 7.3 and all machines under Windows can ping correctly the "B" machine.
I have several machines which can ping it, but I can't log on this machine and I dont even know the OS on it
