VMware Linux suse ping command

Dear all,
i have linux suse installed on VMware, my pc is running Windows XP.
i have a switch connected to my ethernet card (also through console cable)
when im on windows i can ping the switch, but from linux i can't...
does anyone knows a solution, knowing that mu ethcard is "Bridged" on VMware, i can ping 127.0.0.1
thanks for helping

Hi,

Disconnect you NIC From VMware and again Connect it and then check by pinging the switch and also check your Linux iptables.

Hi ziadh,

Did you add shared bridge network interface while creating the VM ?

You need to have a shared bridge interface to connect to external network from your VM.

In linux following command shows all the connected network interfaces

Code:

/sbin/ifconfig

Run Below Command

Code:

iptables -L

and paste your result here.

if any ICMP incoming/outgoing packets are blocked then you have to remove that rule from iptables.

i can connect to internet using eth0, put when pinging my other ethernet card eth1 (172.26.10.3 , which is the ip of the switch to be telneted), i get " destination unreachable"...
any ideas?

Make sure again that your NIC of VM is shared bridge.

That means traceroute is not in PATH.

Find the path of traceroute by

Code:

whereis traceroute

traceroute: /bin/traceroute /usr/share/man/man8/traceroute.8.gz

Then based on the path you get use

Code:

/bin/traceroute 172.26.10.3
