Unable to ping Windows

UNIX Solaris
1

Hello,

Am unable to ping the Windows Box, from my Solaris Box.
They both are in same LAN, have the same IP Segments.

Windows IP :: 10.141.14.120
Solaris IP :: 10.141.14.11

Unable to get why isnt working out.... When using the command 'ping 10.141.14.120', it gives the error as 'ping: Not Found'. But am able to ping from Windows to Solaris.

I am using F-Secure to connect to the Solaris Box.

Any inputs?? :wall:

you have not set your path . normaly it should be in /usr/sbin dir.

Either u add that to your pathelse u can give the full path to execute

 
/usr/sbin/ping x.x.x.x

Thanks amitranjansahu.... It worked.... :slight_smile:

But my concern is we have our Tool mounted on Unix, and it needs to connect to SQL Server-mounted on Windows. For this we need the connectivity. Will making the entry to the 'ping' file solve the issue??

Also how do we make the entry to the 'ping' file? It is coming in some different format. :confused:

You need to clear your fundamentals in UNIX first . I will suggent you study the PATH variable (what, why and how to set ) . The path is like where you search your exe or commands. You can check in wikipedia also.
