In most ways things work well. *But* a ``ping 198.115.177.3'' (or any traffic directed to that address) doesn't work at all. Notice the loopback route to 192.124.97.10? That makes pings to that address work. Where did that route get installed? Why isn't there one for 198.115.177.3? Am I supposed to install that one myself? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
