this is ok.

Since RTping AFAIK sends standard ICMP ping packets, every IP stack supporting ICMP 
should send a response.

How did you try to reach the outside?

You should not directly communicate with non real-time machines using the RTnet API.

To communicate with machines outside your real-time network, you should configure the 
non real-time virtual nic "vnic0" in linux using ifconfig. This virtual nic is 
provided by RTmac and encapsulates your non real-time linux communication for sending 
it over the real-time network. For linux the virtual nic is just like a usual network 
card.
