Are you pinging by IP or DNS name? Try by IP to remove the possibility of a DNS problem. From a box that does work, ping debian.org and get the IP. Then from the problem box, ping that IP and see if it goes through. If it does, then its a DNS problem. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
