First, I am confused as to if this is two separate requests for help,
or one request with two separate people using the same e-mail thread?
If you have one router and two physical hosts, run a tcpdump capture
on both hosts and look at them using Wireshark. Most likely the
firewall is blocking ICMP echo replies if indeed host two is
responding to host's one echo request.
Second, why don't you post your iptables rules here which will help
people understand what your iptables router is doing?
iptables -Lvn

When I do ping from system-1 192.168.11.5 to system-2 192.168.12.6 ,
ping echo packet is reaching on system-2 through NIC 192.168.12.6 but
system is not sending any response to 192.168.11.5 using either of NIC
i.e 192.168.11.6 or 192.168.12.6 ? Why this is happening ? Can you
help me ?
I have observed same type of symtoms when I do SSH from 192.168.11.5
to 192.168.12.6
FYI,
ip_forwarding is enable on router and iptables are no configured on
any of system .
Thanks,
Anil
