hi ya curtis
what is the output of root# route -nv root# ifconfig -v root# ipchains -L root# ping 10.0.1.1 ( a local ping of itself should always work even w/o a cable ) am assuming you didn't manually turn off ping replies on the one host am also assuming you tried swapping the cable on *.1.1 with a acalbe that worked when pinging that other machine c ya alvin you probably have a misconfigured number in one of the files - and i assume you mean you can only ping any of the 253 hosts in 10.0.1.x ( except *.0 and *.255 and *.1(broken ) On Tue, 8 Oct 2002, David Cureton wrote: > > I would check the route table.
