When I use this command on unix :

$ping -R intra.mycompany.com (intranet address of my company)

It gives me all the desired router information (when I ping for local intranet address.)

but when I use this for some other web site (outside intranet i.e. on internet) I get this :-

$ ping -R http://www.stackoverflow.com

PING http://www.sta.com (64.34.119.12) 56(124) bytes of data.
From 10.203.129.242 icmp_seq=7 Destination Host Unreachable

Could someone explain the behavior of ping in above scenario.

Thanks for help.

    Basically I think this means you are unable to ping stackoverflow.com or outside internet sites for whatever reason.

    This might be helpful information as it details the issue and possible solutions.

    BTW: I know the link shows a windows cmd prompt but (without knowing unix) I guess the issues would be similar on Windows and Unix, as I think its a network connection issue.

    Hope this is helpful, if not sorry!
