I have a strange problem. I connect to Internet using ppp. I can ping, ftp, telnet, etc. to hosts all over, but not to ANY of *.mit.edu hosts. Ping just says: "network is down" :-( If I log-in to my U-ty, I can check that MIT is alright. What is so special about packets FreeBSD sends, that MIT machines distingushes them, and ignores? (-: I assume, that Linux's home doesn't like FreeBSD :-) Thanks in advance for any clue on the subject, -mi -- Cat is somewhere around... * Кот где-то неподалёку...
