UNSOLVED
Cannot ping my other IP segment PC3324
Summary: I have a direct connect T1 line from my compaines corp office to a datacenter. At the datacenter location, I have a single PowerConnect 3324 that has an ip that matched the local IP segment there. On the corporate side I have 3 PowerConnect 3324 bridged together (dont know what these cables are called, but they came from Dell). I set the IP on the Corp switch to match the local IP segment. Via static routes in Firewalls/routers, I am able to communicate with any device on either segment.
I can ping from my DataCenter switch any device on either IP segment. My problem is this; I cant ping my DataCenter IP segment from my Corp 3324. I have checked IP and gateways and such. I can ping the Corp switch from any device on any segment.
Any ideas? Your help would be greatly appriciated.

If I understood you correct. You are not able ping from one location to another, but able to ping inside on both of them.
It has to be connected like Workstations (corp office) -> Dell PowerConnect -> Router -> Smart Jack -> WAN -> Smart Jack -> Router -> Dell PowerConnect -> Workstations (data center). If you have the similar schema and all devices are up and running so check the configuration. Also check if your framing, linecode, and encapsulation on Serial interface of the routers have the same type.
I believe you know that to connect two locations using T1 you need either CSU/DSU on your device or external one. Dell PowerConnect doesn’t support CSU/DSU. I had exactly the same situation in my company. Waiting for reply.
