Hi Matej. ppp seems to exchange /etc/resolv.conf in some cases, when establishing the connection. Could that cause any trouble in your chain ? micha.

The problem will most likely be that "testping" is written to be very fast by using options which are suited to pinging machines on a 10Mb or better LAN. You should probably: su cd /usr/share/whereami/tests cp testping testppping vi testppping Change "fping -a -B2 -i5 -r5 -t30" to something like "fping -a" because the default options are much more suited to pinging across slow links.
