Centos Server Cannot Ping Windows Server

Post by ep7network » 2017/07/19 20:37:03

Hi there. I have Centos 6.9 running as DHCP server, with two NIC's, respectively named eth0 and eth1. Eth0 is connected to VMware NAT switch 1, and eth1 is connected to VMware switch 2 (LAN1). Eth0 receives DHCP address from VMware switch 1 and eth1 is configured with static IP address.

On Windows server 2012, its configured with one NIC, and it has static IP address and its connected to switch 2. I can ping Centos DHCP server from Windows server 2012, but cannot ping from Centos DHCP server to Windows server 2012.

What configuration do I need to do on Centos server so I can ping Windows server?

I attached network diagram reflecting my network environment.

Issue resolved. I logged into Centos server (DHCP server) ran " /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1" changed domain name to match Windows server 2012 domain name.
I also installed Domain Controller on Win server 2012. I ran into a new issue. My Win server 2012 has no Internet connection. Looks like its going to be a long night. :lol:
