 Hi,
   Even better, try traceroute

 This reports the time for each leg of the route taken by the icmp packets.

 This verifies there is (or is not) a problem in your setup.

 Derek.

  Wesley try this;
 
  ping -c 1 -R paradise.net.nz
 
  -R Record   route.Includes   the  RECORD_ROUTE  option  in  the
ECHO_REQUEST packet and displays the route  buffer  on  returned
packets.   Note that the IP header is only large enough for nine
such routes.  Many hosts ignore or discard this option.
 
  If your ISP supports this you can see the hop's taken to reach
  paradise,then you can test each hop with a ping to check latency.
 
  Cheers Ross Drummond

 But it was mentioned on either /. or LWN earlier today, I can't
 remember which. So I'm not at all surprised that the connection is
 flakey.

 I'll get it for you if you want.

Thanks for the offer, but I managed to download it successfully some time 
later.

   Anybody else getting this sort of crap from paradise.net.nz?
  
   I've been getting it for two nights now, and I'm getting sick of it.

  Does ifconfig show any errors, or does a 3 fingered salute to the router
  help??
 
  I'm on dialup - one of the people supporting telstra-clear's gambling on
  the investment markets and government bailouts, I expect.
 
  ifconfig:

inet addr:210.246.27.44  P-t-P:202.0.46.83

  Looks okay to me.  I'm thinking it's probably also telecom's gambling on
  the investment markets and government bailouts - ie, their total lack of
  interest in
  maintaining their copper megamiles for which they are so happy to take an
  arm
  and a leg for.
 
  But I've already lost two goes at downloading the zarafa source code - a

It isn't worse than cookies. I already maintain my cookies on a

that way as well.
