My ubuntu system is connected to wireless network and I can access internet. I can ping 8.8.8.8 or google.com but I can't ping another Ubuntu system on the same wireless network. I tried ping, ssh, nmap, tracepath all failed. Please suggest what I can do to resolve this issue.

rob@yasu:~$ nmap -sn 10.0.0.0/24

  • Does the other Ubuntu system have the openssh-server package installed?

I am not sure what was wrong but restarting the router fixed the issue. I think there are settings/configuration at router level that was for some reason preventing it and restarting fixed it.
