This is weird. A few thoughts... - are there firewall rules on the router that might be limiting ICMP? - could system be on a bad switch port? or patch cable? - are there errors being generated on the eth1 interface, e.g. ifconfig eth1 ? perhaps a bad NIC? jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
