  • tb ping failure failures

    From Bit Twister@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 3 02:28:34 2022
    I have three nodes on my Lan, wb, mtv, and tb.

    ping from tb to mtv and wb fails.
    ping to gateway/yahoo.com works.

    I have copied the firewall settings, /etc/hosts from mtv to tb and
    rebooted tb and yet tb can not ping mtv or wb but can ping the router.

    systemd journal shows no dropped packets from tb on mtv or wb.

    wb and mtv can ping everyone on the Lan.
    wb and mtv can rsync/scp files to tb.

    Except for Iface values tb route looks the same as/on all three nodes.

    route -n
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 192.168.50.1 0.0.0.0 UG 5 0 0 enp15s0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1002 0 0 enp15s0 192.168.50.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 enp15s0

    tb can ping the gateway. but not mtv or wb.

    I have no idea on how/what to check next to resolve the failure.
    Any suggestions welcome.

    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Please show the content of /etc/hosts.

    Also show the output of "ip a".
    /etc/nsswitch.conf is also relevant.
