But then again, I could swear that I couldn't ping anything outside the mainframe from a freshly installed Linux image. Interesting....two weeks ago, I was given a new PC. That day, I couldn't get out on the web. But the next day, web access wasn't a problem. This leads me to believe that we have a situation where a new node is installed, but it takes some time (perhaps overnight) for the network to allow access to the outside. Is there such a thing in the network world?
I can imagine that at larger concerns, the network folk might aggregate changes and apply them at regular intervals, perhaps at times to minimise disruption and maximising time available to recover from the occasional "unfortunate circumstance."
Time to install another Linux image and see how long it takes to initially get to the outside world. I just gotta verify that I'm not loosing my mind!
