How can I ping the default gateway from PC2?
I have tried IP <address> [/<mask>] [<gateway>] command for R1, but is says "not in subnet".
And when I tried the same command for R3, it works but I still can't ping R1 and I don't know why.

R1 R2 and R3 can ping each other perfectly .does this means that the default route for each router is being set already?– james TMay 27 '15 at 14:15

- PC2 needs a route for 144.120.8.1 (or default route) that points at R3
- R3 needs a route for 144.120.8.1 (or default route) that points at R2
- R2 needs a route for PC2 (or default route) that points at R3
- R1 needs a route for PC2 (or default route) that points at R2
Check the routing tables on these devices to confirm these routes exist.

this is the routing table for R2 i notice that the gateway is ot set..do i have to set it? Gateway of last resort is not set 144.120.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 5 subnets, 3 masks R 144.120.11.128/25 [120/1] via 144.120.9.2, 00:00:13, FastEthernet0/1 C 144.120.8.0/30 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 C 144.120.9.0/30 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/1 R 144.120.10.0/24 [120/1] via 144.120.9.2, 00:00:13, FastEthernet0/1 R 144.120.11.0/25 [120/1] via 144.120.9.2, 00:00:13, FastEthernet0/1– james TMay 27 '15 at 14:20

You don't need a default gateway no. But R2 does need a route to PC2 via R3. This appears to be either your .10.0/24 or your .11.0/24? It is unclear from the diagram the subnets for PC1/2/3. In any case, your next step after verify the routes is to trace a ping and see where it is getting dropped (usually done with simultaneous tcpdumps on each device in the chain)– jhennMay 27 '15 at 14:50

do i need to close the ip route command with a no shoutdown or a no auto-summary command or i just exit after doing the ip route?– james TMay 27 '15 at 15:04
Configure a host route on your PC telling it that the PC's default gateway is R3.
