Hi Arni: It could be possible that you have not set the routes in the boxes 1 and 3 for each other. The ping packets from 1 may get to 3 but may not know the way to route it back. Let me know if this works...
Also, I don't know why there are two entries in the table. I have seen it myself in some cases. I would like to know the reason too.. Best, Sarav
