I think, your box is receiving an incorrect reply from the machine you have ping. It should have received the same data that it sent to the other machine.

Subject: [plug] Ping Wonder
I was pinging a site on the internet using a Slackware box, and came
across this ping output:
[snip]
64 octets from 203.172.11.21: icmp_seq=0 ttl=250 time=2721.1 ms
wrong data byte #0 should be 0x7e but was 0x7c7c 1e c9 3c f0 ed 1 0

[/snip]
As you can see, I'm pinging infocom's DNS server. We are connected via
leased line from Infocom. The output above only happens when pinging
anything outside our router. All machines within, including the router
itself, sends ping replies "cleanly".
Another funny thing is, only the Slackware box does this; the RedHat
boxes don't display unusual outputs.
Any idea what the above means?
TIA
