traceroute works - ping doesn't

2003-10-22 Thread chip . wiegand
I just installed FreeBSD-5.1 this morning and noticed I couldn't access 
the internet.
I tried to ping a web site but got no response. I ran traceroute and after 
a minute or
so got a complete traceroute. Any idea why I can't ping but can 
traceroute? I am
unable to run make install to install ports because it doesn't connect.
Thanks,

They are using firewall (ICMP blocking).
Are you sure with the ports? Sometimes it takes a while.

What about ftp ftp.freebsd.org?
What is the output of this? ping a.root-servers.net

Appears the remote firewall admin has made a change and didn't inform us - 
the icmp port
has been closed. I tried to install Apache earlier today, first app 
install on this particular box,
but it failed. Every server it tried to download from resulted in no 
access, not found message.
I just tried again, and it finally found a server to download from after 
trying a long list of them.
I used port_install this last time. It appears to be going okay now.
