Ping issues

I have 2 servers. I want to be able to ping both ways.
Server A cannot ping to server B, but server B can ping to Server A.
Server A ip address : 10.61.1.119
Server B ip address : 10.67.26.89

This is the routing table for Server A :

Code:
L28ts03:root # netstat -rn

Server A is a HP-UX server. Server B is a Linux server.
I added the route in this Server A to the destination server (Server B) with this command :

Code:
# route add net 10.67.26.89 netmask 255.255.255.255 10.61.1.1 1

This added the route, however, I am still not able to ping to 10.67.26.89.

Could this be a firewall issue or something else?

Does 10.61.1.1 have a route to 10.67.26.0/23? I mean the router that has/is 10.61.1.1.

Maybe check additionally with traceroute how far you can get.

This is the output of traceroute. Looks like it does not go anywhere :

Code:
L28ts03:root # traceroute 10.67.26.89
traceroute: Warning: Multiple interfaces found; using 10.10.10.2 @ lan3

Maybe check with the network guys so that they can check/add a route to that network.

The route command says the following: if you got a packet for 10.67.26.89, then send it to 10.61.1.1 and the host owning this interface will know how to deal with it. Do you even get to 10.61.1.1? If not, this is the problem! (Tip: if you use ping to test specific connections you assume that the ICMP protocol - which is used by ping - is allowed. This is usually not the case in firewalled environments. They usually drop ICMP packets silently.

Use this:
Code:
telnet <targethost> <targetport#>

for tests then. You won't get a telnet connection at all, but you will find out if you get even there (connection attempts fails, usually with some banner from the application waiting behind the port) or not (connection times out with "host unreachable" or so).

In general systems should not know how to route (quite like routers should not do other work besides routing). This is why you should not explain to the routing table of your system about how to use the foreign address 10.61.1.1 to get to some remote server because you need to tell it how to get to 10.61.1.1 itself first. Let the routers decide this and tell the system which interface to use to send the packet:

Code:
# route add net 10.67.26.89 netmask 255.255.255.255 <your interfaces IP> 1

and the router adjacent to this interface should be able to forward it on its own. Otherwise your network design is flawed.

I hope this helps.
