tracert command instead.

c:\>tracert ip_address

You should see a response something like this:

Tracing route to [x.x.x.x] over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <10ms <10ms <10ms [y.y.y.y]

Where y.y.y.y is the IP address of the first gateway between your server and the IP address that you used. If you used the gateway's IP address then they should be the same.

5.If you are unable to successfully ping or tracert to another device, you need to resolve this problem before you can deploy this system.

Note: Do not ping the IP address of the server itself. In most cases, Windows indicates that the pings were successful even if there is a cabling problem. You can prove this by connecting the LAN cable from the server and then pinging its IP address. This test proves that the TCP/IP protocol has been bound to your LAN card. It does not prove that you have connectivity to a network.

This completes the installation and configuration for Windows 2000 Server required for most Cisco Unity component system servers. The remaining tasks for installing Cisco Unity are explained in configuration documents 1−6.
