Pings not working? ...gotta be kidding...WUG is a ping King. Check ping theory on minimum icmp packet size.

There are no filters. When I go to NetTools and ping everything works. Changing the packet size to 25 and lower fails, anything over 30 works. There's nothing in the Debug log. How do you turn this on? Under Program Options, Logging I have Log Type: Whatsup Event Log and no log management. Is this the correct settings? I need to be able to monitor with ping, because I want to monitor our up stream providers router. Thanks for your help. Brian PS I've been using Whatsup (and then Whatsup Gold) since the program was first released (maybe 10 years), it's a great program.
