 Ping request timed out
IIS, IIS Server, LAN cards, Ping Requests
We are using one IIS server and Database server for our organization’s internal use. The Database server has two LAN cards with the following IP addresses, 192.168.0.12 and 192.168.0.112. When we ping the database server by machine name, we get a reply from 192.168.0.112; however, sometimes we get request timed out from this IP. To fix it, I have to disable and enable the LAN card. Due to this, the connection between the IIS server and Database server breaks, and all of our application are effected. Our database administrators cannot access our database server during this because their SQL server instance is named after our database server. Can you please help me regarding this?

Answer Wiki:
Check the speed & duplex settings on both the server & the LAN switch. It sounds like there is a mismatch somewhere and this could be causing the problem you are seeing. Resetting the NIC would take care of this each time but you should hard set all server NICs and switch ports attached to servers. This might sound obvious but you should check that only one of the network cards has a default gateway set. I had a similar problem with a windows server box running ISA. I had two gateways set and the server would run for several hours problem free then it would appear to loose connectivity. chk-lan cable is fixed properly & if possible interchange lan cable b/w diff ports-disable & enable the lan & chk local area n/w is connected-still not-restart the system normally..

Sairamomaslaxman – please open a new question on your issue – but if you are tracking this question – it is possible that the workstation that you are trying to ping has a firewall blocking the ICMP protocol. Please check and confirm.

Can this problem workstation ping other workstations on the network? Have you checked the speed/duplex settings on the NIC and switch? Have you checked the IP address and subnet mask on this problem system? Is the gateway address correct?
