"No route to host" is almost certainly a network issue. It means that
box9 has no network route to 192.168.1.7. Make certain that box9 has
its IP address and netmask set properly. If box9 is on a different
network than 192.168.1.7, make sure that the gateway is also set.
"traceroute 192.168.1.7" would also be your friend.
