Rob, Is pinging your only problem, or just the first test you tried because you have other problems? Yes pinging seems to be my only problem. Are you trying to ping a name or a number? What happens when you ping ns1.orcon.net.nz? What happens when you ping 210.55.12.1? David, you are onto something. (I think this is where someone will tell me what an idiot I am) I can ping those two addresses but not others...... serva root # ping ns1.orcon.net.nz PING ns1.orcon.net.nz (210.55.12.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ns1.orcon.net.nz (210.55.12.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=92.1 ms --- ns1.orcon.net.nz ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 74.622/81.285/92.189/7.773 ms serva root # ping 210.55.12.1 PING 210.55.12.1 (210.55.12.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 210.55.12.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=98.3 ms --- 210.55.12.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 77.361/84.766/98.341/9.614 ms BUT.... serva root # ping xtra.co.nz PING xtra.co.nz (202.27.184.102) 56(84) bytes of data. --- xtra.co.nz ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1000ms serva root # ping 202.27.184.27 PING 202.27.184.27 (202.27.184.27) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 202.27.184.27 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4001ms serva root # ping gentoo.org PING gentoo.org (204.74.99.100) 56(84) bytes of data. --- gentoo.org ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms serva root # ping 204.74.99.100 PING 204.74.99.100 (204.74.99.100) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 204.74.99.100 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms -- Later David Kirk ** Beware the dreaded GMail reply-to header if replying to this message **
