Local Windows Server 2003 SP2 machine 
that i use to ping/telnet/netsta/nbtstat etc to the unix box is: IP: 10.8.108.136, hostaname: GSS-AERO-TEST.savilab.com
=======================================================
 
Hi All,
 
i have been working on the above machine with IP: 10.8.104.53 for some time now...installing websphere, oracle etc. Until day-before-yesterday i was able to login to it just fine as both the root user and as the oracle user. I was using XStart (Netsarang NetManager) to connect to it.
Then day-before i tried to login and i kept getting this message:
 
It keeps saying "Cannot establish a connection to 10.8.104.53 on port 23"
Neither can SSH and RLOGIN.
 
I tried telneting to it and pinging it from the dos prompt of my local windows machine on the same network -- IP: 10.8.108.136. This is what i get:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>telnet 10.8.104.53 23

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping 10.8.104.53:23

Its ALOM machine is 10.8.104.51, can't connect to that one either.
The unix machine 10.8.104.53 itself is physically here in my office (different building from mine), so I went over and re-started it, to no avail.
Below are some data i gathered from running various commands like ping, telnet, pathping, route print, nbtstat, netstat
against the unix box -- 10.8.104.53, its management server -- 10.8.104.51
and my local windows box -- 10.8.108.136
Output of various commands, run on my windows box -- 10.8.108.136:

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags

```text
 and 
```

by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

If pathping is anything like traceroute, your Windows server is not even seeing its gateway. Could be the Windows server's routing config was changed, could be the ethernet cable, could be the switch, the switch port...
