Ping = no, SSH = eventually. Next step?
I have a Solaris 9 server that does not return a ping. When I try to log in via SSH I eventually get in. I am logged in now.

I know this is a wide open question, but can you recommend some things I should check?

[Due to today's work load, I probably won't have time to do a full dialogue with follow-up questions. I am hoping for lots of suggestions and to be pointed in general directions].

Thanks in advance,
~R

Hi.

Do you ping / ssh by hostname or IP address?

Is it a DNS issue?

Are the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf correct?

Try

Code:
# /usr/sbin/ndd -get /dev/ip ip_respond_to_echo_broadcast
1

as root on the Solaris box. If the output is not "1", then the machine is configured to not answer to pings.

If there are firewalls between your workstation and the Solaris server, ICMP may also be disabled on them for security reasons.
