Cant ping one way across a vlan but not the other

I have 2 vlans set up...

VLAN1
10.0.1.1

VLAN2
10.0.2.1

Machines in vlan 1 can ping across to vlan 2 just fine.

Machines in vlan 2 can ping the vlan2 gateway, but can not get past the GW.

Theres no firewalls. Other vlans talk across just fine. And what is a gw rule?

"And what is a gw rule?"
I was referring to the gateway having access lists that allow or block certain types of traffic.

The other thing to check is that the VLAN2 client has a correctly configured gateway address. Also check the routing tables on the client and the GW.

No access lists.

I will double check the client but I am pretty sure the gw is set to 10.0.2.1. Actually it is, I can ping 10.0.2.1 while on the client(client is 10.0.2.5), just cant ping that client from 10.0.1.1 from vlan 1 past 10.0.2.1

AHHHHH haaa. I cant believe it. My test machine had its firewall on. Once I turned it off I could oingit from the other network. Rookie mistake. Thanks.

That's why in the first reply I said "Or the client you are trying to ping is not responding due to firewall configuration on the client itself."

Nevermind, it happens to us all at some point ;)
