Basic schema here:

Internet
    |  
    |  
x.x.x.x (WAN)
ADSL Main Router 1
255.255.255.0  
192.168.1.1 (LAN)(DHCP)
    |  
    +-----------------------------------------+
    |                                         |
    |                                         |
192.168.1.33 (WAN)                     192.168.1.234
Ethernet Router 2                    **PC 1** (Windows)
255.255.255.0                        
192.168.0.1 (LAN)(DHCP)
    |
  wi+fi
    |                             
192.168.0.103              
**PC 2** (Ubuntu)                    

The main problem is: How do I ping from PC 2 to PC 1? (Solved)

New problem: How do I ping from PC 1 to PC 2?

Some affirmations:

  • Router 2 brand is TP-LINK
  • Router 2 acts as A Cascaded Router and I followed this guide http://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=132275#b to achieve so
  • Router 2 network is different than Router 1's
  • PC 2 is connected to its network through Wi-Fi, any other is wired-connected
  • I would want to leave the subnetworks and cascading as is because Not To LAN-to-LAN
  • The secondary objective of this is that I want to RDP PC 1 (Remote Desktop)
  • Each local IP is provided through DHCP (Router 1: 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64 -> this is correct ; Router 2: 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199)
  • From PC 2: I can ping Router 1 LAN (192.168.1.1)
  • From PC 2: I can ping Router 2 WAN (192.168.1.33)

Output from PC 2 terminal:

iqbal@omen:~$ ping 192.168.1.234

  • Are you sure the firewall on PC 1 is set to allow ping? IIRC the Windows Firewall’s “Public” profile does not allow it by default. // Also, is PC 1 even turned on and connected to the network?

  • I'll check the firewall. Also do you know which rule should I disable? Yes it is turned on and Connected.

  • I completely disabled Windows firewall on PC1 and still cannot ping

For those who have similar network schema and issue:

  • As pointed in the comments: It should work. The mistake here was some previous 'misconfigurations' since an IT guy from my Internet provider came to check some telephone issues and other things I have messed around. But the thing is It should work.

  • No firewall should interfere in this topic

  • PC 2 can connect to PC 1 but, at least in my case, not vice versa
