    There shouldn't be any routing since both boxes are on the same subnet...
    But, if it helps, here's the traceroute info:

    trying to get source for mhp-aquaman
    source should be 170.29.112.254
    traceroute to mhp-aquaman (170.29.112.30) from 170.29.112.254
    (170.29.112.254), 30 hops max
    outgoing MTU = 1500

    really, really sounds like a routing issue...what does a traceroute from the
    aix to win2k box look like?

    Hi all,

    I have a strange network connectivity issue between a p640 box (AIX 4.3.3
    ML11) and a Win2K box (SP3). Both boxes are on the same subnet (and same
    switch), but are having problems pinging each other. The Win2K box has no
    problem connecting to other boxes, and people can telnet to the AIX box. The
    Win2K box has 6 GigE connections in an 802.3ad dynamic team. The p640 box
    has a SysKonnect dual-port GigE card running in failover mode (as well as
    the 2 integrated 10/100s - I have one of these on another subnet and the
    Win2K box can ping that just fine...). Looking at the arp tables shows that
    each box knows the other's MAC address. My network admin captured some
    packets between the 2 and this is what we saw:

    Pinging from Win2K to AIX - we saw the packet go from Win2K to AIX, but AIX
    did not return any packets.
    Pinging from AIX to Win2K - we saw the packet go from AIX to Win2K and saw
    the response packet from Win2K to AIX, but AIX did not receive it (request
    timed out).

    It appears that AIX is dropping the packets from this Win2K box for some
    reason (I have several other p640s with the same config that work fine).
    However, when I rebooted the Win2K box (after it locked up...), I could then
    ping between the boxes. But this only lasted for a day or so, and now it is
    not working again.

    Has anyone seen anything like this before?
