hi,
have a problem that just does not make sense..
i have 2 machines both running debian GNU/Linux potato using the
192.168.0.* IP addresses accessing the internet via a mac running a
macos ip masq utility (not the ideal setup but I do not want to buy
another modem right now) this usually works just fine and i have
never had problems with anything standard.
but just lately (not sure exactly when it started) ping no longer
works, for example i can connect to ftp.debian.org and I can do a
traceroute that gets all the way to ftp.debian.org but if i try to
ping ftp.debian.org or any other host for that matter outside my
private network i get 100% packet loss.
I have not changed anything on the gateway software and ping did used
to work, could it still be broken? or is there something else i
should check?
