The router does not forward IP packets
Verify that the IP Packet Forwarding statistic is set to Router Enabled in
TCPCON (Protocols > IP). If routing is not enabled, enable IP Packet
Forwarding under Protocols in INETCFG, and then issue the
REINITIALIZE SYSTEM command.
A TCP/IP host cannot reach the router on the local network
Verify that the network portion of the IP address and the subnet mask
are the same on the router and the host.
Verify that the router and host use the same frame type.
Use PING from the router to verify connectivity to the
TCP/IP host and verify that the IP Address Translation table has an
entry for the host.
If there is no entry, use MONITOR to check the status of the LAN
driver.
Use PING from the router to verify connectivity to the
TCP/IP host and check for Echo Requests in TCPCON (select
Statistics > ICMP).
If the value of the Echo Requests statistic is not incrementing, check
the IP statistics for errors and perform
Troubleshooting
Use PING from the router to verify connectivity to the
TCP/IP host and check for Echo Replies in TCPCON (select
Statistics > ICMP).
If the value of the Echo Replies statistic is not incrementing, verify
that IP is bound to the host's interface with the correct address and
mask. Also, verify that the interface driver is loaded with the correct
frame type. If required, check the IP statistics for errors and perform
