thanks. To clarify, are you able to contact the machine at all? the first thing I'd be checking is firewalling - tcpdump operates in promiscuous mode so any firewalling on the machine won't affect its output. This does not hold true for ping. James. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
