Checking now, when bigdog is connected to the ISP: ------------------------------------- [root@bigdog /root]# ping sage PING sage.my.home (192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.2 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from sage.my.home (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.107 msec 64 bytes from sage.my.home (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=1.607 msec 64 bytes from sage.my.home (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=1.555 msec 64 bytes from sage.my.home (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=1.560 msec 64 bytes from sage.my.home (192.168.1.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=1.562 msec ------------------------------------- bigdog is an old 486 and the network is a 10mb. I don't know if those times are what you would expect. I will check it when bigdog is not connected to the Internet. If it is a routing problem, presumably it will show up with ping? -- ------------------------------------------------------ Alan L Tyree [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.law.usyd.edu.au/~alant Tel: +61 2 4782 2670 Mobile: +61 419 638 170 Fax: +61 2 4782 7092 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
