Can't ping switch in same VLAN 2

[Dbyte]

Problem: can't ping Cisco 3550 switch from PC. The PC can ping all other switches on the network except this 1. The 2 devices are connected via a Cisco 6509. If I telnet to the 6509 I can ping both devices. Both switches are on the same VLAN. Here's my layout:

Win2K PC (ip xxx.xxx.4.253)
|
6509 (f4/31) (ip yyy.yyy.1.2)
6509 (f3/45)
|
3550 (f0/24) (ip yyy.yyy.1.15)

Here are the ports' configs:
6509 (f4/31):
switchport
switchport access vlan 2
switchport mode access

6509 (f3/45):
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk

3550 (f0/24):
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
no ip address

sh cdp nei det on both the 6509 & 3550 shows the same VTP management domain & same native VLAN.

If anyone has any thoughts on what may be causing this &/or further diags I could run on either the 3550 or the 6509 to help troubleshoot this I would greatly appreciate it.

I agree w/ you that routing is the likely culprit. Pings to .1.15 worked before the IOS upgrade. Unfortunately I have some other IT issues to deal w/. Let me get the info you requested later & I'll post back ASAP.

In your config you have the line:

ip default-gateway 190.160.1.1

This is only relevent if you are not routing (i.e. 'no ip routing' in global config). Add the following to global configration:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 190.160.1.1

or disable routing if the switch is only used as a layer-2 device.

ADB100, you last suggestion worked brilliantly. adding that line to the 3550 fixed ping. Stars for you & Globalchicken for all your work on this w/ me. Thanks for all your help guys!
