http://serverfault.com – We got 2 CentOS servers on same datacenter. they both have websites using same mysql server. Most of the websites uses same source codes located on a.b.c.162. There is a shortcut to a.b.c.162 on a.b.c.164 placed on same location as a.b.c.162. So websites are reaching source codes through shoutcut between servers if website is located on a.b.c.164. System was working perfectly until this morning. But know servers can't ping each other but they can ping all the servers on same datacenter and i can ping them from my personal computer. Any ideas why it happened and how to solve this. Thanks (HowTos)

I noticed that ping to Google DNS and to google.com from Serbia is about 15ms, but google servers are located in California! http://www.geoiptool.com/en/?IP=173.194.39.110 My dedicated server is located in Germany and our countries are close, but ping is 43ms. What is the secret? Can I reduce ping to my server somehow?

The issue I have is that the two servers can not ping each other.

I have 2 virtual machines that can not ping/access one another.

I am setting up a exchange server, and a domain controller as guest machines in virtualbox. All machines including the host are running windows server Datacenter 2008 R2. I have my networking set to "bridged", and static ip's set in both the virtual machines, and host (but not on the network adapters).

So I have a dedicated server . Now I need to add another server, but they do not support LAN connections between their servers ( yeah, cheap I know ).

According to this guide I setup two servers.

Now these two servers can't ping each other, this is arp -n result:

I can lookup DNS hostnames with dig and nslookup, but nothing else seems to be able to resolve anything. ping, telnet, Firefox, everything gets "unknown host". For example:

> dig yahoo.com

; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P2 <<>> yahoo.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer:

There are two servers connected through VPN and cant ping each other, but both are able to ping outside and also can ping each server clients. And after server restart for few seconds they are able to ping each other and then something goes wrong again. Any Ideas whats wrong?

Hi,

We are having two DNS servers working as master and slave in our DMZ network subnet.DMZ network consist other servers also, but only the DNS servers intermittently becomes unreachable (no ping response) from different subnets whereas the internal communication (within subnet) happens at that time.

From the DNS server we are unable to ping gateway ip also when the issue arises.We tried changi

I have a a few windows 2008 R2 Datacenter machines and a few windows 2012 Datacenter machines. I was runnin RedHat 6.2 VM on 2008 and all my other servers could access it over http until I put a VM up on 2012. No mater what I have done, (turned off selinux, firewall, iptables), on both RedHat servers has allowed them to pass http traffic.
