Why unreachable??

[Steve Grosz]

I'm running DNS on a W2k Sp4 machine. I have multihoned
NIC with 2 of my static IP's.

I can ping the dns server fine, but I'm wondering why
someone on a dialup connection is getting this:

Pinging ns1.computicle.com [209.161.4.74] with 32 bytes
of data:

Reply from 208.186.172.68: Destination net unreachable.
Reply from 208.186.172.68: Destination net unreachable.
Reply from 208.186.172.68: Destination net unreachable.
Reply from 208.186.172.68: Destination net unreachable.

The 209.161 address is my DNS server, I'm not sure why
the 208.186 address is responding.

Help anyone??

Thanks,
Steve

It appears that 208.186.172.68 is the gateway at the dialup connection and
the ISP does not know how to get to you. If 209.161.4.74 is really your IP,
then I don't think the problem is with you, because I can reach that IP from
2 different sites.

Have the user try "Tracert 209.161.4.74" from their dialup connection and
you will be able to see where the problem starts occuring.

Only the person using that machine can run "traceroute" to find out. This is
a network connectivity problem, not a DNS problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by the person using that machine can run
traceroute. The person who sent me the info is the person who is
running that machine.

And a network connectivity problem on who's side?

the problem is on the isp of the dial up machine, it is blocking icmp packet
which blocks the ping command
i have the same problem with a isp that i dial in from.
