Verifying remote network connectivity

If you can ping hosts on the local network, try to ping one remotely connected via a gateway:

• If ping returns an error indicating no route is available, you may need to reconfigure your routing tables. See ``Configuring Internet Protocol (IP) routing'', and the manual page for route(ADMN) for more information.

• If ping fails completely, use traceroute(ADMN) to contact the remote host, and note where the failure occurs. If traceroute packets only reach a host within your network, you may need to perform troubleshooting on the last host reached. If they reach a destination outside your network, the problem is on the remote host. Contact the administrator of the remote host, if possible.
