How to Resolve Destination Host Unreachable

#DESTINATION HOST UNREACHABLE MAC#
When you ping to a host in the same subnet, your computer sends an ARP request for the MAC address of the destination host. You may get Destination Host Unreachable message even if you ping to a host in the same subnet.

Use the route utility to check the local routing table. If the message is simply " Destination Host Unreachable", then there is no route from the local system, and the packets to be sent were never put on the wire.

If the destination host is down at the time the packet send, it may result destination host unreachable error message.

So one of the reason for this can be faulty routing table. If there is no route available, it is impossible to find the destination host and your computer will receive an error message " Destination host unreachable" from remote gateway. One major possibility for this error is there is no route listed in the remote gateway, for the packet send from your computer, to destination host. So the remote gateway sends an Echo message " Destination host unreachable". It means the packet sent from your computer reached the destination network successfully but the remote gateway failed to find the destination host. The error message " Destination Host Unreachable", during a ping test, tells that the ping request from our computer cannot find the route to the destination IP address ( destination host).
