    Hi guys,

    I am trying to ping a server [10.128.x.x] from the Linux box. The particular server is reachable from the windows box.

    //Linux Box

    USER@TEST:~$ route

    On the linux server I added the following route:

    route add -net 10.128.0.0 netmask 255.128.0.0 gw 172.16.1.33 dev eth0

    The gw being the IP of the windows server. However I am unable to ping the box. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    The route was deleted from the linux server before creating this post.

    Windows servers don't route traffic by default, even if you add the route to it. it's only aware of what to do with its traffic. Static routing is only for when it has multiple gateways. You will need to NAT traffic through it and open ports on its firewall.

    For those interested, my route add was correct. The problem was with the VPN provider.
