What was described in the original post sounded like a router was on the fritz. As long as the request was within the ISP's domain then life is good but anything beyond the Ethernet1 port falls into the bit bucket. Same in the above problem--routers weren't passing packets out properly or the destination router was swallowing packets without returning them. BTW, I'm right in the midst of of a lab writeup on router configuration in which, surprise, surprise, the router I configured decided to take a huge dump right after my lab team meticulously worked through numerous and very unfamiliar steps to set IPs on the right ports and use the right routing protocols. I can see why router jocks get paid rather handsomely. -- Pax, Pastor Mac Made on a Macintosh, of course. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
