The ping issue between Windows vs Linux is the size of the ICMP packet. I believe a router (in that thread a while back) was refusing Linux pings, based on the size. As far as I know, this would only affect equipment requiring Windows based pings. A ping to a normal router should return as expected regardless of the OS. - James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
