pinging 192.168.1.99 fails

DHCP sets this to 192.168.1.110 and it can not ping 192.168.1.99 which we all know is the default for internal into which it is plugged (port 3 on the back) ... so what gives? I can browse the web and ping a dns server 204.60.0.2 but can' t ping or http into the damn fortinet. HTTP and PING are ON for internal and this works with my 50A so what' s wrong with this 60AM? bash-3.1# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:E9:71:24:60 inet addr:192.168.1.110 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::207:e9ff:fe71:2460/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:87 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:99 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:50924 (49.7 Kb) TX bytes:16019 (15.6 Kb) Base address:0xdb40 Memory:fe9e0000-fea00000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2723 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2723 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:303460 (296.3 Kb) TX bytes:303460 (296.3 Kb) bash-3.1# ping 192.168.1.99 From 192.168.1.110 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable From 192.168.1.110 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable From 192.168.1.110 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable From 192.168.1.110 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable --- 192.168.1.99 ping statistics --- 0 packets transmitted, 0 received, +136 errors bash-3.1# ping 204.60.0.2 PING 204.60.0.2 (204.60.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 204.60.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=10.5 ms 64 bytes from 204.60.0.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=251 time=10.6 ms 64 bytes from 204.60.0.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=251 time=11.6 ms 64 bytes from 204.60.0.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=251 time=10.8 ms

In addition to the above mentioned problem - I set the dns of the dhcp to the internal address too, 192.168.1.99 or in the case of the wlan to its gateway address of 10.10.80.1 and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn' t resolve. So I have been putting 4.2.2.1 there, which is an open UUNET DNS address... this works, but lets configure it right.

I plugged a windows box into the switch part and boom, I can ping 1.99 fine. I boot from that linux box everyday though, as I said, from my 50A without a pinging problem - so what is causing that nonesense? thanks, gsgi

Have you done a packet sniff of this anomaly, from both the PC and the FGT?

what happens if you do a ping and traceroute from the FG to the linux box?

well thanks for helping me out. i am pretty sure I ran a packet sniff on the fg and it did not report anything. I' ll try a fg-> linux ping and traceroute when I get the fg back, I had to loan it out to substitute for a misbehaving router. thankfully that is a windows environment which isn' t seeing the issue. as for another issue I' d appreciate your input on:

I did check the three boxes in options to share dns with internal, dmz and wlan
