Is the host your pinging from 192.168.22.1? – joeqwerty Jan 28 '15 at 07:03

So you're pinging your own ip address? – joeqwerty Jan 28 '15 at 07:20

2I asked you if the machine you were pinging **FROM** was 192.168.22.1 and you said no. You said the ip address you're pinging **FROM** is 192.168.22.181. I'm not understanding you. What is the ip address of the machine you're pinging **FROM**? – joeqwerty Jan 28 '15 at 07:24

I might be able to answer this question if you update it with the IP address and netmask of each network interface on the path between the two hosts. – kasperd Jan 28 '15 at 09:18

The first ping that times out is typically your gateway creating an ARP entry for the port address.
If you make no changes, and immediately ping the same address again, do you still get the first ping to time out? If yes, then try to 'ping 192.168.22.181 -c 30' and see if you get any time outs in the 30 ping reqeusts that get sent out.

Hi if I immediately make another ping request to the same IP, I don't get the timeout, however if I wait for a certain amount of time it will be having the same issue of an unreachable host – user4025978 Jan 28 '15 at 07:18

3That's perfectly normal. The ARP cache is transient. The ARP cache entries will "age out" and once they do, the ip address will have to be resolved to the MAC address again, which will generate the `Destination host unreachable` message. – joeqwerty Jan 28 '15 at 07:30
