When your problem is not apparent from examining 'ifconfig -a' and 'netstat -rn', the ping command can be very helpful in diagnosing it more. Try running 'ping -s machine-with-no-route'. There are two prospects. When you get some kind of 'network unreachable' or 'host unreachable' error, this usually means that there is no route on your machine to the machine you are attempting to ping. You will most likely require defining a static route for that machine's network, or maybe a default route.
