(Assuming that the ehternet address of your 10.0.0.1 box really is 00:08:c7:4c:3b:c6). So at this point it doesn't look like a physical problem, but instead an IP configuration. But you still can't ping in either direction? 10.0.0.1> ping 10.0.0.2 or 10.0.0.2> ping 10.0.0.1 Are you sure you don't have any firewall installed on either box? Is 10.0.0.1 an old linux distro? If so check to see if ifchains is installed rather than iptables. (Can you tell what kernel version at least? cat /proc/version). > whatever delay in my subnet 10/8 means..can anybody help me?? 10/8 is shorthand for 10.0.0.0/8 which itself is shorthand for 10.0.0.0 with netmask 255.0.0.0. This notation is called CIDR (Classless Internet Domain Routing), and is easier to deal with than the old dotted-notation for netmasks. Google on CIDR. -- Deron Meranda
