Troubleshooting, Testing the network connection

Page 42 highlights

TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX) Troubleshooting Testing the network connection Execute the ping command from the host. For example, type: ping printer-name If the ping test to the printer-name fails, try issuing the ping command again, specifying the printer's IP address explicitly; type: ping printer-IP-address If the ping test succeeds using the printer's IP address, but fails using the printer's name, check the NIS database, DNS, or /etc/hosts file to make sure that you are using the correct name for the printer. If the ping test fails using the printer's IP address, check the cabling and any gateways to make sure that the printer has a working connection. Make sure that the printer's IP address and network mask are consistent with the IP address and network mask of your local subnet. PhaserShare Networking Manual 37

TCP/IP Host Configuration (UNIX)
Troubleshooting
Testing the network connection
Execute the
ping
command from the host.
For example, type:
ping
printer-name
If the
ping
test to the
printer-name
fails, try issuing the
ping
command again, specifying
the printer’s IP address explicitly; type:
ping
printer-IP-address
If the
ping
test succeeds using the printer’s IP address, but fails using the printer’s name,
check the NIS database, DNS, or
/etc/hosts
file to make sure that you are using the correct
name for the printer.
If the
ping
test fails using the printer’s IP address, check the cabling
and any gateways to make sure that the printer has a working connection.
Make sure that the printer’s IP address and network mask are consistent with the IP
address and network mask of your local subnet.
