Most day-to-day apps don't really care about ping. Attempts to connect to 80/TCP are successful. Ping and traceroute give me !X communication prohibited by filter. ICMP echo and response are NOT critical Internet traffic. The inability to send/receive is NOT an inherent indicator of network health. Eddy
Ahh, thanks Eddy. When the only tool you have is a hammer...<g> I haven't received anything from the isp-lists for a couple of days, and couldn't reach isp-planet.com's nameserver, so went looking with what I had. Time to get *nix loaded on this new laptop I suppose...what's your favorite traceroute prog.? --Michael
