Joe,

Sorry, I didn't realize this was in a lab attempt of yours... by the
way, be careful of NDA...

It cannot have anything to do with routing... pings are essentially two
separate transmissions, so if a ping request/reply comes back from A to
B, then routing is automatically working from B to A. However, you
mentioned it might have to do with Frame Relay... can you elaborate on
what your concern here is? Were you trying to ping a local frame-relay
address?

Keep in mind that when you send a ping, the packet is sourced from the
interface is leaves, unless you specifically change the source address.
Were you pinging both directly-connected interfaces? Are you sure the
route to the other IP address was in fact out that same interface? Did
you try doing a traceroute from B to A?

Let us know. And please be careful not to break NDA.

Subject: Trouble pinging

I had a difficult problem during my last lab attempt.

I had routers in two different IGP routing domains. Router A is in one
domain. Router B is in the other. I could ping from A to B and back, but
I could not ping A from B.

I know it has something to do with either redistribution between
domains, or frame relay.

Anyone have this problem, too?
