DMZ and Ping issue when changing ip address for a server was created by zillah
I have got a media server 2003 installed in DMZ zone (Cisco PIX 525) , with an ip address 192.168.101.204/24, it was able to ping other servers (sql server , help server, etc ) which are in DMZ zone as well. Basically all servers are in DMZ area

Recently this media server is not able to ping these servers (sql server , help server, etc) , I do not why, but if I changed the ip address (last octet only) for this media server to 192.168.101.222 , it would be able to ping other servers (sql server , help server, etc).

There is no firewall on the media server and there is no firewall on the other servers as well.

All servers have got win2003 OS.

The error message for ping is : timed out

This is no entry with our cisco PIX for both IP addresses 192.168.101.204 and 192.168.101.222

Hi there,

Is the subnet masks correct on all servers ? Have you moved the UTP Cable to a different switch port that is in a different VLAN (if you are VLAN'ing) ?

Can you ping the Pix Interface ?

Cheers

I forgot to tell you that we have got two cisco switches in dmz zone 3550, and both of them as connected to each other. The servers in MDZ are spreaded between these two switches.

Hi there,

That should be fine since you are not using multiple VLAN's otherwise you would need to setup a VLAN Trunk.

So are you saying that machines on one switch cannot ping machine on the other switch ? I thought all machine could ping the Pix Interface ?

Can you provide the other details listed in the last post to help try and identify the issue ?
