RHEL Linux - Cannot ping from other machines
 

I have set up a RHEL 64 bit, I can ping other machines from that server, however I am trying to ping the Linux server from other machines, I am not able to do so.
Firewall is disabled. Can you please suggest?

Maybe a routing issue? Do you have a router between the server and the other machines? If so, maybe you need to add a static return route.

What happens if instead of using ping, you use arping ( arping 192.168.1.10 for example - you probably have to install arping )?

You might also check the ICMP settings.

issue solved
 

Thanks everyone for your inputs, The issue was solved.
we had set the ip details in ifcfg-lo and ifcfg-eth0, both the files, which caused the server to loop back.and ping all ips, but other machines were not able to ping the server.
We restored ifcfg-lo to original file and restarted the network.
We have the server in LAN now.
