Hi,

I have intalled the Linux(Redhat enterprises 4) in windows 7 using VMware machine.

My Host IP Address(i.e winodw 7) - 5.2.1.222
Subnet Mask - 144.144.144.0
Default Gateway - 5.2.1.1

I have defined the new ip address for LINUX as below

IP Address(i.e winodw 7) - 5.2.1.221
Subnet Mask - 144.144.144.0
Default Gateway - 5.2.1.1

I am not able to ping the LINUX IP adress from host system(5.2.1.221).

IP address defined in linux in following places.

1. Applicatoins -> Sytstem Settings -> Network
2. vim /etc/resolv.conf
3. vim /etc/hosts

I am able to ping the ipaddress from linux but not able to nslookup and dig.

While using nslookup and dig following error message getting.

connection time out; no server could be reached

My firewall status is stopped.

Please let us know, what are settings needs to be check it out.

Where did you get this kind of subnet mask?

Hi Ilesterg,

I have placed the dummy subnet mask for security purpose.

Hi madhu,

Welcome to LQ

My good advice to you that please use IP address above 10.XXX.XXX.XXX also use default gateway's ip address to 10.XXX.XXX.XXX
and use subnet mask as 255.XXX.XXX.XXX

it will work, it pings from Windows to linux also vice versa.

Thanks,

Oh, sorry my bad.
