Hi guys,
I need some help am really confused here.
Ive got a HP Dual Port Network card NC7170
Ive installed 1 card each on 2 servers
Server 1 Config
LAN 1 : 10.0.1.6
Subnet : 255.255.0.0
LAN 2 : 10.0.1.7
Subnet : 255.254.0.0
Server 2 Config
LAN 1 : 10.0.1.9
Subnet : 255.255.0.0
LAN 2 : 10.0.1.10
Subnet : 255.254.0.0
The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to ping the LAN 2 port from either servers. Both are set up with crossover cables between each port on the card.
So from Server 1 if I ping 10.0.1.10 i get timed out
and from Server 2 if I ping 10.0.1.7 it also times out
I know the fault isn't with the second port on the cards because if I switch the subnets the opposite happens and I get time outs when i ping 10.0.1.9 from Server 1 and timeouts when I ping 10.0.1.6 from Server 2.
I'm sure there is some sort of basic network rule I'm forgetting here. I really cant get this to work
Can any1 shed any light on this issue? :S:S
