A one ping success with future failures can be caused by the router doing fast switching rather than process switching. That first packet gets process switched then the route is put in the cache for fast switching. Then for whatever reason fast switching fails. Once the cache entry is flushed due to aging a single packet will again get through. The one case where I have experience was caused by a bug in the IOS. It was an early version of 12.0 and it was a 2600. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Hardman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2000 12:13 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: OT: Strange connectivity problem with NAT > > > Hi All... > > Well I'm at a frustrating point in troubleshooting this one, > any help would > be nice!
