Can only ping a few servers

[mjstanton]

Hi - we have a VPN connection into our network. I can ping all of the LAN client PCs and most of the servers, but there are 2 servers that don't reply - request times out. However, I can ping these 2 servers fine from my LAN desktop PC. Any ideas why this would occur?

TIA

Sounds like it may be the default route setting on the servers, or a missing static route pointing back towards the source network of the vpn client?

I tend to agree with routerman.

Check the ip address of the servers and see if they are sitting on the same subnet as your VPN clients.

Thanks, guys! The Default Gateway address was wrong on the
2 servers we couldn't ping - we corrected it!

Thanks again!
