LAN machine can't ping printer
-
@JonathanLee if you can not arp for an IP, doesn't matter if you resolve some fqdn to the IP or not.
-
@johnpoz with my AirPort Extreme that was the only way it would work with the proxy it needed that name stored because it would access it from the url for the scanner part of it.
-
@JonathanLee Which has zero to do with trying to ping something on the same network as you and not getting back an arp response.. Do you think this guy is running a transparent proxy between host X on network A and host Y on the same network A that proxies icmp traffic?
Both errors he showed, dest host unreachable and host is down scream - hey I tried to arp for that IP and got no answer!

Do you have icmp allowed on the firewall for that subnet?
Make sure to upvote

@johnpoz you know me I assume everything is proxies

@JonathanLee said in LAN machine can't ping printer:

@JonathanLee, he has already said both devices are on the same subnet. There is no network firewall in play at all. The only possibility would be a host firewall in place on the PC or printer, but I've never seen a printer with a built-in host firewall.
-
@bmeeks yeah me neither.. Even if it did have a firewall, for sake of argument.. The error would of been timeout vs those errors. Since even firewalls allow for arp.

192.168.1.255.
You mean 255.255.255.0 right @eiger3970-0

@JonathanLee my guess is he just posted the numbers he saw on an output of ifconfig or something without really understanding what it was
inet 192.168.2.253 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255That is just showing the directed broadcast address.

@JonathanLee I'm confused?
My printer did have network settings:
192.168.1.160/24 255.255.255.0, but I changed it to:
192.168.1.160/24 192.168.1.255, because the output of the LAN computer and VM router both show:
192.168.1.120/24 192.168.1.255 and:
192.168.1.170/24 192.168.1.255 respectively.I have always used 255.255.255.0, so I'm a bit unclear why this changed to 192.168.1.255?
-
@eiger3970-0 nothing changed the mask should be 255.255.255.0 or /24.. That 192.168.1.255 is the directed broadcast address.. See the netmask there in my example 0xffffff00, that would convert to 255.255.255.0
No wonder your having issues if you changed the mask to 192.168.1.255 - which to be honest not sure why the printer would even accept such a number, its not a valid network mask.
-
@johnpoz thanks.
I changed 255.255.255.0 to 192.168.1.255 after the problem, as a fix attempt.Yes, somehow it's working, but I'll change back to the typical 255.255.255.0 on the printer.
-
@eiger3970-0 Don't change that it should be 255.255.255.0 as your subnet with the cider notion of /24

@JonathanLee Hello, I changed the printe to:
IP address: 192.168.1.160
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.170Unfortunately, the computer won't ping the printer via the VM router?
Computer with Ethernet cable to printer.

@eiger3970-0 Just noticed the computer said Wired Lan cable was unplugged.
I barely touched the Ethernet cable at the back and the RJ45 NIC PCIe LED turned on and green.
I guess that's the LAN enp2s0 that changed from DOWN to UP.
Must be something wrong with the NIC, the NIC's insertion into the MOBO or the cable...nothing was touched before the problem. -
Your gateway isn’t .1 ?

@JonathanLee This is solved, somehow, I don't remember...just noting the thread can be closed.
